Student engagement has suffered significantly as students appear disconnected and unresponsive to faculty inquiries. Some instructors are frustrated because they have tried various philosophies and still do not receive the desired motivation from their students. However, there are numerous tools and apps available to assist faculty in engaging and motivating students, including the use of Groups, Discussion Boards, Journals, Blogs, Wikis, and pooling tools such as Poll Everywhere, Socrative, Mentimeter, and others.
