Abstract

This paper examines data from the Course Interest Survey (CIS), which is based on Keller's ARCS Model of motivation, and measures a student's level of attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction. Two online groups (one treatment and one control) are compared to a face-to-face class for differences in attention, relevance, confidence, satisfaction and overall motivation. Based on the analysis, this paper argues that simple, cost-effective, and easy-to-design email messages show potential for addressing distant students' motivational needs.
