Engagement: a student’s willingness to spend time and energy on learning

Feeling part of a community of learners has a direct impact, not only on retention, but also on students’ perception of successful university experiences (Wellman, Wehlage)
How do we create a sense of community?

Shared presence - it feels like you are in the same space at the same time with others

Shared experience - you can view and experience the same events (e.g. videos, presentations, musical performances) and engage in shared activities

Real-time collaboration and creative co-production - users act on the same objects in real time, e.g. a spreadsheet, a whiteboard or a 3D model. Being in the same place at the same time naturally leads to peer learning.
