Ph.D. Student Manasvi Kumar examines the limits of student engagement in an asynchronous online context. Specifically, 249 students were assigned to perform peer evaluations of multiple project presentations. The online learning platform collected objective viewing behavior; viewing time was used as a proxy for engagement. This study also collected self-reported attitudes towards the assignment, finding that while students value providing feedback, they do not consider it a valuable use of their time. Based on these results, Manasvi provides suggestions for improving the design of online feedback contexts.
