Student Motivation To Learn via Computer Conferencing.
Bures, Eva Mary; Abrami, Philip C.; Amundsen, Cheryl
Research in Higher Education, v41 n5 p593-621 Oct 2000
Examination of student (n=79) motivation to learn via computer conferencing (CC) found that students who believe CC will help them learn the course material (outcome expectations) and believe they are capable of learning how to use CC (self-efficacy) are more likely to be active online than students without these beliefs or those who are concerned about their performance.
