Short Description

This study aims to identify the factors of learners’ lurking behavior in online courses through a systematic literature review. Findings show that various factors affect learners’ decisions on lurking behavior: learners’ characteristics, interaction with others, and the course design and implementation. This paper then compares the factors between formal and informal learning contexts and discusses possible instructional interventions to encourage learners to contribute more actively and visibly in online discussion activities.
