Week 1
When discussing the article on Engagement Theory I find that alot of what is discussed is what we as learning managers must embrace in order to gain our students full engagement. The use of technology is so widespread that we must create technology based learning opportunities for our students as much as possible. The basic principles of the Learning Engagement Theory (Greg Kearsley & Ben Schneiderman) suggest that students must be engaged in tasks that are meaningful to the students while also working together in a group context to achieve worthwhile outcmes. I feel that this is imporant particularly when working with students who have very little motivation levels. They must see the reasoning behind why they are completing a task in order to feel that it is worthwhile.
