IDENTIFYING FACTORS INFLUENCING STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION IN UX OF AN ONLINE INDUSTRIAL DESIGN EDUCATION

Students are exposed to "niche" parts of industrial design that demonstrate accuracy and amount of detail in order to meet real-world design standards. According to the research, keeping students' enthusiasm while enticing them to enroll in an online industrial design course is tough. Currently, technological advances in e-learning are used to make industrial design education and learning more engaging for students. In reaction to new advances, the learners' e-learning methods and motives are evolving fast. According to research, the technological advancements in e-learning are primarily appealing because they are novel and distinct. When learners get used to them, they may lose interest and become less motivated. Motivational aspects of an e-learning platform can aid in comprehending learners' motivation and knowledge acquisition strategies. However, there is a paucity of literature describing methods for evaluating the motivation of online industrial design learning. In the context of online industrial design education, the complexity of students' motivation, drives, and motivational theories has further complicated the evaluation process. This research investigates the relationship between the efficacy of an online industrial design learning platform and the motivation of students. The research used a mixed-methods approach and surveyed and conducted semi-structured interviews with 200 participants who received an online education in industrial design. The research analyses different aspects of industrial design education and their relationship with the attitudes and motivations of students, which may enhance their performance in industrial design applications.
