Abstract
Online learners’ persistence and high dropout rate is a crucial problem in online learning context. Online learners’ satisfaction is a major factor affecting persistence. How to design feedback strategies to promote learners’ engagement is a problem that needs to be solved. In this paper, the factors affecting online learners’ persistence is analyzed. Based on these results, feedback strategies for promoting online learners’ persistent and decreasing dropout are presented from three perspectives: cognition, metacognition and motivation. These strategies would direct to design feedback in the online learning context.
