colleges have discontinued in-person teaching practices for safety and healthconsiderations. Since social distancing is currently preeminent, the teaching and learningenvironments might become a challenge for faculty and students. Online mode of education is notnew at the college level and has become a ubiquitous practice because of the spread of the internet[1], [2], [3]. However, online education can be unengaging due to many reasons including personalattention, lack of social interaction, and excess of theory-based course content [4].Recently, more studies of online education have focused on student engagement given itsimportance to education and learning quality [4], [5], [6]. Student engagement is typically definedas the time and effort that

Not surprisingly, thishomogenous and heterogenous perspective leads to pedagogical practices in which minoritizedstudents underperform compared to when innovative pedagogical models are used, such asflipped classrooms [8], [9].
