ABSTRACT Student engagement is crucial for learning, especially in online learning. For a student to be a successful online learner, they need to engage socially and collaboratively through their behaviours, emotions and cognition. This paper discusses an accounting module of a fully online degree where engagement was purposely integrated using an engagement framework. An action research design was followed to determine the degree of engagement within the module and to improve on it. The findings indicated that incorporating five forms of engagement into the module was positively received by students and resulted in more students successfully completing the module. Student reflections showed that the module was cognitively engaging, that personal preference will guide social engagement and that working collaboratively will always be a challenge. Where, due to COVID-19, entire programmes need to convert to online learning, the findings of this study, could be implemented to ensure the continued engagement of students.

让学生获得完全在线的会计学位：一项行动研究

摘要学生的参与对学习至关重要，尤其是在在线学习中。为了使学生成为成功的在线学习者，他们需要通过其行为，情感和认知进行社交和协作。本文讨论了完全在线学位的会计模块，其中使用参与框架有目的地整合了参与。随后进行了一项行动研究设计，以确定模块内的参与程度并对其进行改进。调查结果表明，学生积极接受了五种参与形式的模块，并导致更多的学生成功完成模块。学生的反思表明，该模块在认知上具有吸引力，个人喜好将指导社会参与，而协作工作将始终是一个挑战。
