In most cases, we know we need it. But with the ambiguity surrounding what engagement really is, it's challenging to develop and deploy strategies we're confident will grow the participation, reach and value of our education programs. In an attempt to create a unified definition, to illuminate best practices/strategies that truly engage learners and to identify real-world examples of engagement done right, Tracy King, chief learning strategist of InspirEd, and Aaron D. Wolowiec, MSA, CAE, CMP, CTA, founder and president of Event Garde, have prepared a survey to gather your opinion. They are specifically interested in your thoughts on what engagement is and strategies that work for both you and your learners. Responses will be compiled into a resource to be shared with you. Please consider joining the #whatisengagement conversation sometime between now and the end of the month. It's easy and fun (we promise)! Moreover, your ideas are important not only to us, but to the greater professional development community. 

With only seven questions to answer, there's absolutely no barrier to participation and the aggregate responses are sure to be informative. Just be sure to share with us your responses (no matter your experience level) before the survey closes on March 31. Should you have questions or feedback about the survey, please don't hesitate to email Aaron. In the meantime, thanks in advance for your participation. Stay tuned for more details about this project in the coming months. It's kind of a big deal. 

The #whatisengagment survey is now open and may be accessed here.
