Engaging students in online learning is a perennial challenge for educators. This challenge escalates with the extreme diversity of backgrounds, culture, gender, learning styles, social class, learning ability (including gifted and talented), readiness, cognitive ability, emotional needs, and social ability etc. So, how can we design effective learning that encourages engagement and inclusion of students while staying true to the learning objectives?
