Overview

Creating engagement in the school system fosters success and belonging. This is essential for enhancing the student experience especially in higher education. Students who feel connected to their institution, supported by peers and faculty, and empowered in their academic and personal pursuits are more likely to excel both inside and outside the classroom.

Universities use of engagement and use of tools to help students in higher education to feel belonging is a great asset in helping students to feel like they belong and motivate them to finish their degrees. Motivating Engagement, Belonging, and Success in Higher Education Student Experience expands the discourse on ways universities can help engage their students in higher education. This book uses research based and real-world applications of student success stories that have positively impacted students engagement. Covering topics such as digital community building, learning styles, and student experience, this book is an excellent resource for educators, policymakers, administrators, researchers, academicians, and more.
