Evaluates the influence of instructional immediacy on learning motivation in military and civilian online students, indicating similarities in communication cues.
Members of the U.S. military are trained to be self-motivated leaders. This training influences the life of all military personnel, including their learning experiences. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between known cues of computer mediated instructional immediacy and military motivation to learn as compared to civilian motivation to learn. Because the military favor enrollment in online classes due to accessibility, students (N = 497) enrolled in online courses at 3 universities with a high military enrollment were invited to attend. The findings of this study imply that the military perceive similar computer-mediated instructional communication cues to those perceived by civilian students.
