A typical post picks up 3 interactions against 290K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 6% of 21,185 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.2K times each, and 0.259% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.4% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 40 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 21, 2026. Recurring tags: #highered, #research, #teaching.
