Engaged learners absorb information more effectively, leading to superior learning outcomes. When learners are actively participating, asking questions, and discussing concepts, they move beyond passive consumption of information. This active involvement promotes a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Research consistently shows that when learners engage with content, they retain knowledge better, resulting in improved comprehension and long-term retention. By fostering an environment that encourages active participation, educators can enhance the overall effectiveness of eLearning courses.
