Encouraging students to become and remain engaged in their learning is the second grand challenge for SoTL. Engaged learners are intentional and active, using metacognitive strategies to connect with the material an become more and appreciative of the learning process itself. There is often a disconnect between educators’ and students’ perceptions of learning. While educators view learning as a complex process requiring effort and engagement, students often see it as merely remembering information.
