Abstract: Structured, cohesive content increases the chances that a student will learn better and be more involved in the learning process. Research shows that students engaged in the learning process have an increased level of focus and attention, the opportunity to hone their critical thinking skills, and overall benefit from a meaningful and engaging experience. Getting students involved and increasing engagement in the classroom, whether face-to-face or online, also makes them more responsible for their own learning. As a result, students are passionate about their learning, contribute more, and become optimistic about continued academic growth.
