Students engagement is one of the most important factors in student achievement. Many schools are aware of this and have initiated programs to monitor how engaged students are in school. Tracking student engagement not only helps teachers assess their teaching methods, it also helps administrators know which aspects of the school environment need more attention. In order to measure student engagement, many schools can incorporate systems that track a child’s response time during individual lessons. We all know that the internet has changed education forever, and for the better. An accessible online world has allowed students to learn at their own pace in a more natural environment with new opportunities for collaboration, creativity, and growth. But what is not commonly understood is just how crucial student engagement on an online course can be to its success. Student engagement is fundamental to educational success. Engagement monitoring can help identify what students find interesting and engaging in the classroom, what they want, what makes them uncomfortable, and what they need.
