Enhancing an App for Sustaining Motivation in Learning

Abstract

In this paper, we present the development of a mobile learning application de-signed for studying for the national examination for registered dietitians. The authors, affiliated with a registered dietitian training institution, have previously ad-dressed shortcomings in existing learning methods by providing an online learning application that resolves these issues and facilitates effective learning. However, a notable challenge has been identified in maintaining student motivation for individual study. To address this issue, we propose a mechanism for sustaining motivation and have implemented it in the existing online learning application. This paper not only describes the newly introduced features but also presents an analysis of the evaluation through surveys.
