Abstract: Abstract From the perspective of online education where the short-term connects, as well as the long-term associations are completely virtual, it is critical to develop a sustainable engagement plan for online learners with different demographical profiles and needs. A successful engagement strategy can ensure satisfaction, enhance motivation, reduce the sense of isolation and improve performance of the learners. In the long run it will build an affiliation within the learning community, emotional involvement with the programme and loyalty to the educator and provider. Hence, it is crucial to understand the various types of engagement dimensions and how these dimensions associate or differentiate across the segments. This study comprises of an empirical research, based on a survey of learners with different profile, age group and learning orientation. The research establishes several hypotheses in the context of different engagement types. It interprets how the behavioural, social, affective and cognitive engagement dimensions associate among themselves and if there are significant differences observed in these engagement dimensions considering the different learner segments. The inferences of this research would be valuable to create customized engagement initiatives for diverse categories of learners.
