Planning for Alignment and Engagement
Learner Engagement
Learner engagement is fundamental for meaningful learning experiences. A big component of the planning process is the thinking around learning activities: thinking about which activities will be relevant and contextual for the learners and designing the interaction so that it is easy to follow and supports the learning process.
Designing technology-based learning activities can result in "cool" student interactions; however, it is important not to lose sight of the fact that technology should enhance the learning experience, not drive it.
