Abstract
In the technology industry and in academia, technologists frequently use the term "engagement" as one metric to measure a user's experience. Within the sub-field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), recently-published papers do not all agree on their definitions of this term. However, recent HCI research has realized some success in measuring and modelling student engagement. In this thesis, I survey the variety of approaches taken in such work. I also discuss how these studies surprisingly do not take into account students who use assistive technologies despite these technologies' notorious tendencies towards user disengagement. Ultimately, I propose future research towards modelling and quantifying engagement of all students in a way that takes into account the differences in the experiences of learning with and without assistive devices.
