What is learner engagement?
“…depicts students' willingness to participate in routine activities, such as
attending class, submitting required work, and following directions.”
Newman F; 1992
Three major categories of interaction occur in the teaching learning
exchange; learner-teacher, learner-content, learner-learner
Moore 1989
“…subsequently the quantity and quality of possible exchanges have increased considerably, reflecting the number of planes upon which
communication, interaction and collaboration can be measured” Anderson & Garrison
Why employee engagement is critical for organisational success
Engaged employees have the information that they need to understand exactly and precisely how what they do at work every day affects the company's business goals and priorities
Susan M. Heathfield, About.com Guide
Employee Engagement; what’s your engagement ratio• Actively disengaged employees erode an organization’s bottom line, while breaking the spirits of colleagues
in the process. • "The average working population ratio of engaged to actively disengaged employees is near 2:1. • Within the U.S. workforce, Gallup estimates this cost to the bottom line to be more than $300 billion in lost
productivity alone.“
