Dear academics,
I hope you are well. I am a PGR at the University of Surrey, investigating retention of students on Open or Private online courses and I was hoping I might be able to contact you regarding this.
I am interested in investigating how motivational/ psychological factors can influence MOOC retention. I found that despite increasing enrolment for online courses, there are excessively high drop-out rates for courses that are fully online. Even though students are attracted to online courses (including MOOCs) because they are free, cost effective and at the convenience of home, I have been intrigued by the fact that learners drop out of these courses.
So, my study is looking at open or private online course retention and the motivational factors that contribute towards their completion. It would be wonderful if I could get in touch with you about your experience teaching online.
If you are happy for me to contact you, please drop me an email: [log in to unmask]
Warm regards,
Parvathy
