Episode notes

Every week and sometimes each day. we encounter debates about student engagement and overall learning experiences in higher education. Just open the Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Ed, the Conversation, the New York Times, the Guardian, etc. It does not matter which news resource you are wedded to, there will be someone penning an article that bemoans the passive participation of students in schools, colleges, and universities and any educational setting or environment. And such articles have become even more pervasive in their digital leanring age. Is there data out there that addresses such concerns and debates? Fortunately, there is. In fact, for over two decades, the National Survey of Student Engagement developed and administered at Indiana University (IU) ( has collected important information from hundreds of four-year colleges and universities about the first-year and senior students' participation in various programs and activities provided for personal learning and development.
