Extend conversations
Ten strategies for creative source engagement
The parts of ten

A characteristic of successful source engagement is what researchers identify as “extending the conversation.” You can extend source relationships to areas such as everyday life, campus life, community, economics, politics, current events, literature, social media, and technology.

For example, a source that supports intercollegiate e-gaming competitions extends the source engagement with the following conversations:

· Competition with campus broadband

· How e-gaming competes with other majors

· E-gaming viewed as another sport competing against academics

· E-gaming viewed as video gaming

· Attracting students who think e-gaming is a non-academic major

The e-gaming conversation extends to additional implications. These can include encouraging video gaming among high school and college students, increasing screen time, conflicting with homework and leisure reading, questioning the academic value of an e-gaming facility, questioning the academic value of an e-gaming major, and attracting students who think e-gaming is a non-academic major.

Each extended connection provides engagement options to agree, disagree, support, refute, and question.
