Student Engagement in Online Learning: A Review

Online learning is the result of the development of network technology and computer technology, which emphasizes the openness of learning resources and communication among students. Online learning has become the mainstream of learning, and a large number of learners participate in it. The essence of online learning is the continuous development of students' cognitive level, and to acquire effective learning, students need to participate actively in learning. However, due to lack of communication between teachers and students, the performance of students who participating in online learning is not satisfactory, and their persistence and efficiency are also poor. This paper summarizes the relevant research on student engagement in online learning, i.e., introducing two concepts: student engagement and online student engagement, statistically analyzing measuring methods of student engagement used in related research, and finally proposing the insufficiency of the existing research.
