Abstract: Widespread use of the Web and other Internet technologies in postsecondary education has exploded in the last 15years. Using a set of items developed by the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), the researchers utilized the hierarchical linear model (HLM) and multiple regressions to investigate the impact of Web-based learning technology on student engagement and self-reported learning outcomes in face-to-face and online learning environments. The results show a general positive relationship between the use the learning technology and student engagement and learning outcomes. We also discuss the possible impact on minority and part-time students as they are more likely to enroll in online courses.

The Construct Validity of Student Engagement: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis Approach.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the underlying structure of these five benchmarks, their interdependence, and the extent to which the items do reflect those five dimensions, and propose as an alternative, eight "dimensions" of student engagement that fit this set of data slightly better and in a more useful way.
