Unboxing Learner Engagement in an Online SEL for Teachers Course on FramerSpace

Abstract

Understanding learning patterns in online learning platforms is an important aspect of digital learning. Our study aimed to present preliminary findings of learners' interactions (N=29,826) with course content (on an online interactive learning platform) for the course "social emotional learning for teachers", using course engagement time and quiz attempts as two parameters of learner engagement. Our findings suggest that question difficulty and learner characteristics (motivation to engage) both influence attempt patterns. The results of such analysis can provide data-driven strategies to improve content engagement, teaching methods, and platform features, enhancing online learning experiences.
