Abstract: While interest is strong, the larger picture disappoints. Recent studies find a steady increase in independent participation in learning online but drop-out numbers that are nothing but ugly. Despite recent advances in media based learning, people drop out of e-courses in large numbers, especially in corporate and government asynchronous settings. Why? Let's look at what the literature says about what the learner, the media asset, and the organization can do to reduce halting engagement and the failure to persist. We will focus on practices for attracting, riveting and holding online learners.
