Description
Summary:We demonstrate evaluating levels of student engagement in online classes for accreditation. By synthesizing four categories of student engagement (Hillman, Willis, & Gunawardena, 1994 ) and individual activities from Adler ( 2020 ), we extend and use a comprehensive set of student engagement activities for assessment. This systematic evaluation enables determining if the desired level (Carnegie-unit standard of 8,100 min) and variety of student engagement is reached. By assessing two online Master of Entrepreneurship classes in a Southeastern U.S. regional university. Our findings indicate both classes have 8,100+ min of engagement and patterns of using multiple engagement categories. We provide a method for quantifying the level of faculty-student and student-student engagement using an evaluation of two online courses to support that AACSB standards for engagement are met in online programs.
