Here is another good visual I learned about from Mindshift which outlines different levels of engagement. As I have already argued elsewhere here in this blog, getting today’s students deeply engaged (the first level of engagement below) in the learning process taking place in class is not an easy task. Unless students see a direct relevance between what they are going to learn and how that information will help them in their actual life, it becomes hard to maintain their attention.
I am not really sure whether the graphic is Dr. Roland Rios‘s or not but whoever made it he did a great job capturing Philip Schlechty’s level of engagement.
