Online learner engagement: Conceptual definitions, research themes, and supportive practices
Abstract
Online learning has increased in prominence across all levels of education, despite reported learner engagement being lower online than during in-person learning. Most learner engagement research and frameworks have focused on in-person learning environments but new frameworks and strategies for online learner engagement are emerging. In this article, we integrate scholarship from educational technology with scholarship from educational psychology and the learning sciences to argue for a reconceptualization of online learner engagement that considers both critical dimensions of learner engagement and the environmental affordances that influence them. We review literature on cognitive, affective, and behavioral engagement, translating it to online contexts. We introduce five research themes and accompanying frameworks from online learning research that have shaped understanding of learner engagement in online learning environments (i.e., engagement through communication, interaction, presence, collaboration, and community). With this new perspective that synthesizes the dimensions of learner engagement and online environmental affordances, we expand online learner engagement scholarship. Finally, leveraging this reconceptualization, we share an exemplar framework and strategies for supporting online learner engagement followed by recommendations for future research and practice.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
