Abstract

Adult online learning can be a very complex and volatile process, often leading to different expected and/or unexpected outcomes attributed to both learner-specific and non-learner-specific motivational factors. Despite the growing research literature recently, most studies examine online adult online learning motivation only from one perspective at a particular time. Therefore, this chapter aims to conduct a systematic meta-review to provide an integrated overview of the relevant research literature in the past four decades.
