Keeping Us Engaged: Student Perspectives (and Research-Based Strategies) on What Works and Why

Author Christine Harrington gives us a preview of her new book, Keeping Us Engaged: Student Perspectives (and Research-Based Strategies) on What Works and Why, and shows us student engagement ideas that faculty can easily incorporate into their virtual and in-person classrooms.
