The variables affecting students' enthusiasm for studying in virtual settings: A review

Schools all across the world have been forced to close due to the coronavirus issue. Educational stakeholders had responded to this challenge admirably by using virtual learning and by enhancing their virtual learning environments in order to prevent interruptions to their students' studies (VLEs). As a result, the VLEs have specific requirements that must be fulfilled in order to support students' learning in a reliable and effective manner. Through a descriptive study, this research sought to critically examine the influencing elements of learning in VLEs. The results showed that characteristics connected to student motivation for learning in a VLE include teacher personality, student autonomy, ICT, and course design. These results are regarded as significant contributions for educational stakeholders to address the educational, psychological, social, and technological demands of students in VLEs that have partially or completely replaced traditional educational methods in most academic institutions across the world.
