Extended Abstract

A variety of studies on the subject (both relatively old (1978, 1993) and recent (2009, 2011) reveal two realms of interaction in higher education environments that most directly relate to students' engagement, and, to their continuance in college: Academic and Social. We will show you what teaching and learning look like in the CampusCruiser Portal & LMS in relation to cultivating these two realms of Interaction.

Educators agree that student engagement is a process that includes some kind of active or collaborative participation in challenging academic activities. So, naturally, as educators we want tools and services that foster and, even nurture, a personal connection with content that facilitates this active learning process.
