phenomenon in college a lack of research has been conducted to promote reading engagement in college c lassrooms The purpose of this

paper is to provide college instructors w it h practical guidance on using Web 20 tools to enhance student engagement in this task According

to self-determination theory (SDT) Web 20 tools share several engagement-enhancing factors The paper d iscusses the potential of Web 20 technology to engage students by aligning w ith SDT Based o n the potential of Web 20 the paper suggests practical ways of using d ifferent
