What Is Learning Engagement Rate?

Learning engagement rate is a key metric that measures how actively learners interact with a training course, eLearning module, or digital learning experience. It evaluates the quality of participation, not just whether learners start or complete a course.

Engagement reflects how deeply learners are involved in the content—how often they interact, contribute, and demonstrate interest throughout the learning process.

What Learning Engagement Rate Measures

Depending on the training platform, the engagement rate may include data such as:

• Time spent in the course
• Interaction with activities (quizzes, scenarios, simulations)
• Clicks, views, and navigation patterns
• Participation in discussions, comments, or forums
• Completion of optional resources
• Repeat visits or replays of content
• Performance in quizzes or assessments

These indicators help determine whether learners are truly absorbing and applying the material, not just passively clicking through.
