Abstract
During the July-November 2021 semester, we partnered with the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) to help improve student engagement in the online EDC 1000: Introduction to the Profession course. Our Capstone project aimed to help USQ understand how the newly implemented course supports student engagement and learning. Our data collection and analysis utilized a mixed-methods approach. The findings of this project uncovered student engagement and interaction with weekly materials, the course instructor, and with peers throughout the semester. The student engagement data helped to inform faculty instructional practices and provide a deeper understanding of the overall educational experience.
