Abstract

Online Education System is becoming more relevant especially in the times of Coronavirus(COVID-19). However, the retention of students in MOOCs and distance learning universities is significantly lower(1/4th) than the traditional educational system. The low retention of students is harmful to both the university and the students. Several studies have tried to address this issue but they rely on the study by psychologists to assess motivation and intent. The fundamental purpose of this study is to identify the motivational factors and engagement behavior impacting the retention of a student on such platforms. The interaction with faculty and mentors also play a significant role in the retention of the student. The data will be collected from external sources as well as surveys from students telling their reasons for factors in their retention. Significant factors are to be identified and prepared. The model will predict the retention of the student. This study will provide insight into solutions to increase retention among students in a virtual learning environment.
