E-learning and Learners’ Motivation in the New Normal Set-up of Education
Mia Gail B. Samaniego
Web-based instruction is also being seen as an alternative to face-to-face schooling. Its usage increases in direct proportion to the rise in the number of students. This has made a great deal of effort by educators to help learners get immersive material that is full of multimedia, as it has been found to have a huge influence on the learning experience.
E-learning has increased in popularity as an instructional method, much as technology has evolved and advanced over the years. Interestingly, more attempts have been made to advance technologies than to strive and consider the needs and behavioral patterns of individual learners and instructional design. Rapid development has been made in the 21st century with things like technology and web learning.
The success or lack of online learning can be related to student motivation. To inspire students, teachers should: (1) bear in mind that inspiration must be offered to students; (2) demonstrate to their students how the online environment should be used; (3) promote engagement and communication with their students; (4) to create research groups so that students will no longer study in isolation; (5) to allows learners make friends by engaging fellow students in the online space; (6) to communicate with their students by online monitoring; and (7) to provide them with continuous feedback. Both of these approaches may be critical strategies to establish new strategic teaching initiatives that could enable teachers to affect the engagement of learners.
Learners learn better by using computer-based learning in addition to conventional classroom approaches. An elevated level of learner involvement by interactivity tends to be a potential factor for this. This results in higher levels of emotional commitment and perseverance in achieving the task.
The opportunity rests in the convergence of technological advances in the various education fields, as this would certainly have a positive effect on the learning experience.
