A return to in-person classes may incline educators to dropcollaborative technologies for teaching, but remote control, screen share, and collaborative tools are stillbeneficial if using teamwork in the class. This paper investigates the following research question: towhat degree is student engagement impacted by the usage of synchronous collaborative tools in a team-based, in-person undergraduate introductory engineering course?
