engagement. Key questions for consideration include, but are not limited to, the
following:
As a course instructor, how do you define engagement in your discipline/classroom?
How does student “prior knowledge” influence engagement efforts?
How does the instructor/student dynamic relate to student engagement?
How do course learning outcomes point to areas for student engagement?

Today’s digital tools have made it easier than ever for both faculty and learners to create rich, high-quality, and
engaging multimedia products that can help facilitate teaching and learning. The Center for Teaching Excellence,
