Abstract

This study explores how student engagement is enhanced through student-created videos and discussion forums in blended learning. Data were collected from individual learning journals designed for asynchronous learning in a graduate-level sustainability accounting module at a German university using a qualitative case study approach. The data were triangulated with collective reflections from synchronous sessions. The results showed that creating student-based videos and facilitating team discussions enhanced six dimensions of student engagement: cognitive, behavioural, emotional, social, collaborative, and technological. Technological engagement was evident in discovering new technologies, empowering high-quality videos, and unleashing technology-based potential. This study contributes to the literature on online student engagement by providing practical evidence of six engagement dimensions and related indicators as reflected in students’ views. It offers a comprehensive framework for engagement and provides valuable insights for educators to build flexible learning communities and increase peer learning interactions among students in online environments.
