Strategies for Engaging and Re-Engaging Students

With the transition to online delivery, student engagement remains a critical area of activity as does a focus on re-engaging with students who might, for a variety of reasons, have slipped behind or become dis-enfranchised with their studies, often as a result of circumstances beyond their control.  This interactive session will introduce staff to the engagement and re-engagement resources created by the AcDev Team, and will run through the 5 core principles that AcDev have developed to guide opportunities for engagement and re-engagement, and signpost to useful resources including AdvanceHE's #52 Engagement Toolkit.
