Authentic Engagement of Adult Learners in Online Learners

Abstract

  • well-designed and executed online learning environments are no less challenging and engaging for adults than their onsite counterparts
  • affective issues of trust and intimacy were crucial to the substantive engagement of participants in educational dialogue
  • The evidence presented above suggests that computer networked learning environments can be richly engaging, challenging, interactive and enjoyable
  • presenting learners with meaningful problems that they would want to solve, they will be motivated to work through the problems and are more likely to perceive their problem-solving efforts as worthwhile
  • providing students with choices increases intrinsic motivation and results in greater persistence, better performance and higher levels of satisfaction with their educational experience.
  • The comparative delivery/distribution mechanisms matter much less than how the instructional team manages the environment before, during and after students invest their valuable time, energy and money.
