Moodle’s impact on learner motivation
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper examines the impact of online learning platforms on learner motivation throughout an academic program. A survey conducted among university students served as the primary research method, with findings analyzed through ANCOVA. The results revealed that online learning platforms positively influence learner motivation, as evidenced by significantly higher scores in key areas such as acquired knowledge, proficiency, and overall graduation outcomes in the experimental group compared to the control group. These findings underscore the potential of online learning platforms to enhance educational engagement and performance. The study offers valuable insights for educators and administrators by highlighting the advantages of integrating online platforms into academic curricula. It also supports the conclusions of previous studies, affirming the role of technology in fostering motivation among learners. The results can guide educational institutions in selecting the most effective platforms by providing a balanced overview of their strengths and limitations
