Abstract

With recent advances in technology and education, it is important to explore programs, applications, and efforts which assist with interaction and humanizing online learning. Achieving student engagement goals for an online institution were evaluated through observations, document reviews, and narratives highlighting the best practices and achievements from American College of Education (ACE). Techniques ACE uses to promote faculty and student engagement within the online environment will be identified. Get a “behind the screens” look at how online communities can be built by promoting engagement techniques, such as implementing additional software applications, developing digital toolboxes for students, promoting the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) Center, implementing a Virtual Student Wellness Center, and embracing the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The chapter explores the increasing availability of educational technology useful for engaging student interaction in the classroom.
