This paper uses the learning management system (LMS) to track student engagement with a pedagogical intervention in a research methods course. The data is collected over ten semesters to gauge whether students access the supplemental learning materials and whether those materials impact student learning. I find that although the level of engagement and its effectiveness are mixed and vary by semester, overall engaging more with the supplemental materials did improve student performance. This work emphasizes the importance of measuring whether our interventions even reach their intended targets (students) and demonstrates the utility of the LMS as a data collection tool for SoTL research.
