The coronavirus pandemic contributed to significant life changes, which likely diminished student engagement in coursework. With this challenge in mind, a graduate course was redesigned using edutainment as a model to enhance student engagement and learning in an online environment and delivered during the pandemic. The course redesign intentionally included components of humor and entertainment to enhance the delivery of the subject matter and student engagement. Student perceptions of the course were analyzed and indicate high levels of satisfaction. Course performance was also examined, however, a clear relationship between course satisfaction and performance could not be established. The course design may also have contributed to higher levels of student retention.
