Abstract

This study explores how student engagement is enhanced through student-created videos and discussion forums in blended learning. Data were collected from individual learning journals designed for asynchronous learning in a graduate-level sustainability accounting module at a German university using a qualitative case study approach. The data were triangulated with collective reflections from synchronous sessions. The results showed that creating student-based videos and facilitating team discussions enhanced six dimensions of student engagement: cognitive, behavioural, emotional, social, collaborative, and technological. Technological engagement was evident in discovering new technologies, empowering high-quality videos, and unleashing technology-based potential. This study contributes to the literature on online student engagement by providing practical evidence of six engagement dimensions and related indicators as reflected in students’ views. It offers a comprehensive framework for engagement and provides valuable insights for educators to build flexible learning communities and increase peer learning interactions among students in online environments.

提高学生参与度的见解：混合式学习的实际应用

本研究探讨了在混合式学习中如何通过学生制作的视频和论坛来提高学生的参与度。采用定性案例研究方法，从为德国一所大学研究生水平可持续会计模块异步学习设计的个人学习期刊中收集数据。这些数据是用同步会话的集体反射进行三角测量的。结果表明，创建以学生为基础的视频和促进团队讨论可以提高学生参与的六个维度：认知、行为、情感、社会、协作和技术。在发现新技术、增强高质量视频和释放基于技术的潜力方面，技术参与是显而易见的。本研究通过提供学生观点所反映的六个参与维度和相关指标的实践证据，对在线学生参与的文献做出了贡献。它提供了一个全面的参与框架，并为教育工作者提供了宝贵的见解，以建立灵活的学习社区，并在在线环境中增加学生之间的同伴学习互动。
