Engagement
InQuire Engagement Framework™ — what it is and how to apply it
The InQuire Engagement Framework™ includes emotional, intellectual, and environmental dimensions that support meaningful virtual learner engagement.
This framework helps instructional designers and facilitators create virtual and hybrid learning experiences that go beyond attendance—ensuring learners are present, participating, and processing content in real time.
Core dimensions of the InQuire Engagement Framework™:
- Emotional Engagement: How learners feel about the experience—building trust, psychological safety, and motivation.
- Intellectual Engagement: How learners think about the content—encouraging active thinking, reflection, and problem-solving.
- Environmental Engagement: How learners interact with the learning space—including tools, technology, and social dynamics.
By addressing all three dimensions, virtual classroom sessions become more inclusive, interactive, and effective.
Why it matters: Engagement isn’t just about interaction. It's about designing for connection—emotionally, cognitively, and environmentally—so learners are empowered and supported at every stage.
