Teaching might be synchronous, but learning is always happening asynchronously | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it
Real student engagement happens in the head of the learner, and that's harder to quantify when analyzing synchronous or asynchronous learning.

This is interesting. 

EDTECH@UTRGV's curator insight, December 8, 2:17 PM

"When we’re measuring butts in seats or time in front of a screen with an instructor on the other end, live, we’re measuring what’s easy to measure, not what’s important. Real student engagement happens in the head of the learner, and that is far harder to quantify."
