In education, engagement is considered critical to the enhanced student experience and ultimately learning outcomes. How are students engaging with different digital technologies? The increasing integration of digital technologies into education necessitates the exploration of how students engage with these technologies. This research utilises data mining approaches on digital traces to explore how students engage with different digital technologies (e.g. learning management system, social media, and lecture capture), and establish patterns of engagement with digital technologies useful to enhancing student learning experiences with technology.
