As highlighted in the article by Zepke and Leach (2010), there are a range of ways in which instructors and institutions can promote student engagement.

Strategies for promoting student engagement:

  • enhance students' self-belief
  • enable students to work autonomously, enjoy learning relationships with others, and feel they are competent to achieve their own objectives
  • recognize that teaching and teachers are central to engagement
  • create learning that is active, collaborative and fosters learning relationships
  • create educational experiences for students that are challenging and enriching and that extend their academic abilities
  • ensure that institutional cultures are welcoming to students from diverse backgrounds
  • invest in a variety of support services
  • adapt to changing student expectations
  • enable students to become active citizens
  • enable students to develop their social and cultural capital
