Impact of podcasting on student motivation in the online learning environment

Impact of an augmented reality system on students' motivation for a visual art course

“…The Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS) was the instrument developed to measure learner motivation following the ARCS model (Keller, 2010). The instrument is particularly relevant for our study because it has been validated and used on several research studies using technology as a motivational factor in learning (Bolliger et al, 2010;Green & Sulbaran, 2006;Huang et al, 2004;Rodgers & Withrow-Thorton, 2005).…”

“…Keller's ARCS motivation model (Keller, 1987a,b). IMMS has a documented reliability coefficient of 0.96 (Keller, 2010) and has been administered in some research studies (Bolliger et al, 2010;Green & Sulbaran, 2006;Rodgers & Withrow-Thorton, 2005).…”

“…The integration of web tools in learning activities marked an important turning point. Indeed, several studies proved that motivation is enhanced by the sense of control and the possibility to create knowledge collaboratively that offer web technologies (Annetta, Minogue, Holmes, & Cheng, 2009;Bolliger, Supanakorn, & Boggs, 2010;Rovai, Ponton, Wighting, & Baker, 2007). 3D virtual worlds can be considered an evolution of WWW, they have been successfully employed in educational applications (Chittaro & Ranon, 2007;Dalgarno & Lee, 2010) and some studies reveal that their immersive and interactive capabilities foster student motivation and engagement (Barab, Thomas, Dodge, Carteaux & Tuzum, 2005;Huang, Rauch, & Liaw, 2010;Shen & Eder, 2009).…”

“…In several of the previous research studies available, though, a large proportion of respondents were female (e.g. O'Bannon et al, 2011, Bolliger et al, 2010. Other findings suggested that females pay a higher level of attention and find the content of podcasts more relevant than males had (Bolliger et al, 2010).…”

“…O'Bannon et al, 2011, Bolliger et al, 2010. Other findings suggested that females pay a higher level of attention and find the content of podcasts more relevant than males had (Bolliger et al, 2010). This could simply be a reflection of the pool of students who have been surveyed in the past.…”
