Research Abstract

E-learning provides students with a different opportunity to learn regardless of where they are and when they are available. In e-learning environment, students are able to participate in self-faced and interactive learning that is otherwise impossible. This paper shows that the use of interactive features of e-learning increases the motivation of undergraduate students for the learning process. Internet technologies provide integrated environment for web-based learning tools to support e-learning education. Motivation is a corner stone in online distance learning. Together with the flexible and effect interaction between teachers and learners enhance the learning outcomes. This paper gives a preliminary study of the relationship between interactive features of e-learning and the motivation of undergraduate students for the sake of learning process.
