Motivating Online Particpants - Jennifer Hofmann, Learning Circuits
Everyone understands how to learn in a traditional classroom environment. We’ve been doing it all of our lives. Online learning has introduced a new learning culture—one that takes time with which to become familiar. Organizations use a great deal of resources planning for and investing in technologies, but often forget about the culture change involved with this new learning environment.... Why do we need to be more concerned about motivating online learners than traditional learners? Because often, online learning comes with a stigma that’s totally unmotivating. Learners often feel that they’re being cheated out of an instructor, that online learning isn’t real learning, and that having to learn at their desk is more trouble then it’s worth.
