Defining the Problem

The problem I would like to address is student engagement and course success in online elearning courses.

I want to broadly explore and summarize various topics from learning theory and learning science that may prove useful in bringing light to issues that are relevant to student engagement and provinding tools to assess and improve elearning engagement and course success.

• Content Comprehension
• Motivation
• Course Design

The goal here is to achieve an overview of situations where engagement issues can arise, to identify potential causes of lack of engagement, and to explore strategies which are based in learning theory and research to address these issues and improve student engagement.
