Abstract

Persuasion is inherent to the instructional process. Instructions delivered through online programs do not always generate expected and consistent learning outcomes, and hence persuasion in online instructional design is even more critical. Through this mixed-method study, we aim to identify the most widely used persuasive design techniques, the challenges limiting their applications, and their implications. Furthermore, this paper discusses the recommendations of new persuasive techniques put forth by Instructional Designers.
