Abstract:
- Over the past ten years, online education has
expanded rapidly due to its accessibility, scalability, and flexibility.
Despite its potential, high attrition rates in online education
threaten both student progress and the legitimacy of the
institution. A comprehensive analysis of empirical research on the
factors influencing learner attrition in online learning settings is
presented in this study. To identify the individual, course-level,
institutional, and technical causes of attrition, it incorporates and
categories the body of existing work. The results point to the
complex aetiology of attrition and identify important domains for
focused intervention and predictive modelling.
