In reviewing the relevant literature (Fredricks, Blumenfeld, and Paris, 2004) noted that these terms refer to the same features, which describes students’ positive and negative emotional reactions toward teachers, classmates, academic works, as well as a sense of identification with and belonging to the school, value school outcomes, and feel as though they are supported by their peers and teachers (Fredricks, Blumenfeld, and Paris, 2004) </span></header><header class="article-head" style="background-attachment: initial;

Dynamic online discussion tools, that allow for audio or video posts like <a href="https://info.flipgrid.com/">Flipgrid</a> and <a href="https://voicethread.com/">VoiceThread</a> can provide more students with behavioural engagement opportunities than would have been possible in a traditional classroom. Online discussions enable students to ask questions, have discussions with others that are different from themselves, so that they may better comprehend someone else's views by imagining how an issue looks from his or her perspective and understand people of other backgrounds.<br /><br /> Collaboration tools like <a href="https://gsuite.google.com/products/docs/?utm_source=docsforwork&utm_medium=et&utm_content=learnmore&hl=en">Google G-Suite</a> and <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education/buy-license/microsoft365/default.aspx?culture=en-us&country=US">Microsoft’s Office 365</a> mitigate the complexity of having students work with other students on course projects or assignments this is vital as collaboration is key to promoting engagement in the online classroom (Robinson & Hullinger, 2008). <span style="color: red;">Thus, it is essential for instructors to design online opportunities for students to have meaningful interactions with peers and afford richer opportunities for collaborative learning (Paulsen & McCormick, 2020).</span><br /><br />Even before the current level of ubiquitous access to social media tools, Chickering & Ehrmann (1996) identified the potential of online learning to promote authentic problem solving and the applications to academic learning to real-life situations. The public nature of social media provides instructors with unique and innovative opportunities to foster authentic and highly relevant learning experiences. </span></header><header class="article-head" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: break-word;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></header><header class="article-head" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: break-word;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Online tools that facilitate brainstorming and authentic problem solving like <a href="https://www.openideo.com/">OpenIDEO</a> and <a href="https://www.tricider.com/">Tricider</a> enable students to apply what they are learning to consequential issues that may have local, national, or global implications. As a consequence, <span style="color: red;">it is paramount that instructors create online learning tasks that students will regard as being socially relevant (Furlong & Christenson, 2008). </span></span></header><header class="article-head" style="background-attachment: initial;
