When students are engaged in learning, they are more likely to find the experience meaningful and succeed academically. A well-engaged class can also make teaching more rewarding.
Join us for a half-day symposium to connect with colleagues across the 缅北强奸 community and explore strategies for teaching, assessment, and the use of learning technologies to enhance student engagement in learning.

What do we mean by engagement in learning?
Engagement refers to a student鈥檚 involvement in their learning process. Engagement occurs at the intersection of thinking and feeling, involving both a cognitive commitment to mastering content and an emotional connection to the learning experience.
At the course level, student engagement in learning is reflected in active participation, intellectual curiosity, and emotional investment in course materials and activities, which drive deeper understanding and meaningful learning outcomes (Barkley & Major, 2020).
What is Beyond Grading?
Beyond Grading is our annual symposium and strategy series on teaching and learning at 缅北强奸. By providing a platform for instructors to discuss their strategies with each other, we aim to encourage effective, thoughtful, and creative teaching practices that put student learning first.
