Guiding+Principle+2

Keep the learner motivated and engaged The internet enhances motivation. Visual media can motivate learners by attracting and holding their attention in the learning process (Simonson, Smaldino, Albright, & Zvacek, 2009). Motivation is important. Intrinsically motivated learners and those with high expectations for grades and completion of a degree have higher success rates (Smaldino, Lowther, & Russell, 2012).
