The criteria are: Flexibility of learner interaction and communication with faculty, peers, and course materials; Attention to detail in the course and its materials; Attention to detail in the web design; Detailed faculty communication to learners; Clear timelines and due dates; and Creating a sense of collaborative teamwork and 'groupness.'

Greg Kearsley and Ben Shneiderman Engagement theory has emerged from the
authors' experiences teaching in electronic and distance education environments
(see Shneiderman, 1994,1998; Shneiderman et al, 1995; Kearsley, 1997).
The fundamental idea underlying engagement theory is that students must
be meaningfully engaged in learning activities through interaction with
others and worthwhile tasks. While in principle, such engagement could
occur without the use of technology, we believe that technology can facilitate
engagement in ways which are difficult to achieve otherwise. So engagement
theory is intended to be a conceptual framework for technology-based learning
and teaching.
