This article describes the ICAP framework that defines cognitive engagement activities on the basis of students’ overt behaviors and proposes that engagement behaviors can be categorized and differentiated into one of four modes: Interactive, Constructive, Active, and Passive. The ICAP hypothesis predicts that as students become more engaged with the learning materials, from passive to active to constructive to interactive, their learning will increase. We suggest possible knowledge-change processes that support the ICAP hypothesis and address the limitations and caveats of the hypothesis. In addition, empirical validation for the hypothesis is provided by examining laboratory and classroom studies that focus on three specific engagement activities: note taking, concept mapping and self-explaining. We also consider how ICAP can be used as a tool for explaining discrepant findings, dictate the proper choice of a control condition, and evaluate students’ outputs. Finally, we briefly compare ICAP to existing theories of learning.
It’s time to approach online teaching, not from a deficit mentality, but from an openness to its potential.

If you've read my blog or my tweets before, you'll know that I use swear words only sparingly. That doesn't mean I'm not thinking them or using them in more private contexts, I am simply cautious about when and where I write them out or share in other people's posts for public consumption. But this…
Most students aren’t good note-takers. This post explores the benefits of having a rotating designated note-taker and why students should ditch the laptop.
