Introduction: Learning is the foundation of the development of the social economy. Along with the development of the Internet and information technology, the way of sharing knowledge has changed. E-learning is a revolution that is currently emerging (Zhang, 2003, p201). According to the 2013 IBIS report, the size of the e-learning market is estimated at $90.9 billion and is estimated to grow by 23% over the next five years (IBIS, 2014). E-learning refers to any type of learning situation in which educational content is delivered electronically via the Internet when and where people need it (Zhang, 2003, p201). Many authors have confirmed that E-Learning has its advantages. It meets the needs of today's people (author's names). E-learning makes times and places flexible (). (Explain) E-Learning also allows people to save time and costs. () (explain) Many claims about online learning stem from the fundamental belief that traditional face-to-face teaching is inherently inefficient and that cost savings can be achieved (Bates, 1997; Twigg, 2003). In addition to all the benefits of e-learning In learning, you need to consider some issues, such as how to improve student engagement and retention in the e-learning environment. In 2013 there are ……. Students enrolled in an online course in Australian higher education, but only …….. students complete the course they enrolled in. (demonstrate) It is very important to find out the factors that influence student engagement in e-learning, to help system and course designers create a better environment for students. There are many factors that influence student engagement. Many theories have been proposed to explain what impact student engagement in e-learning has. The literature covers a wide range of theories in this area of ​​e-learning. This literature r...... middle of paper ......colors goal-directed action. (Dennis, Bunkowski, Eskey, 2007) It is one of the main factors that influences student engagement. In addition to individual variables, student motivation is influenced by situational variables that include course design, teaching approach and, to a large extent, teacher behavior (Dennis, Bunkowski, Eskey, 2007). There are internal and external factors that motivate students to engage in the online course. Vansteenkiste, Simons, Lens, Soenens, Matos, and Lacante (2004) showed that intrinsically motivated students processed reading material more deeply, earned higher grades, and showed greater perseverance. compared to extrinsically motivated students. Knowles and Kerkman (2007) demonstrated that students with intrinsic motivation usually have an internal desire to learn a particular topic
