The literature is considerably rich about engagement and academic achievement in the context of open and distance learning. However, there is limited research that investigates these variables with large scale participants. In this regard, the aim of this research was to investigate causal correlations between e-learning engagement time and academic achievement of open and distance learners according to course subject, dropout, and bounce rate variables. The participants of this study were 323,264 open and distance learners from Anadolu University, Turkey. Throughout this research, open and distance learners’ engagement time levels and their academic achievements are compared. Academic achievement was found to increase significantly when learners engaged more with e-learning materials.

电子学习参与时间如何影响电子学习环境中的学习成绩。远程学习者的大规模研究

在开放和远程学习的背景下，关于参与和学术成就的文献非常丰富。但是，很少有研究与大型参与者一起研究这些变量。在这方面，本研究的目的是根据课程主题，辍学率和跳出率变量，研究电子学习参与时间与开放和远程学习者的学业成绩之间的因果关系。这项研究的参与者是来自土耳其阿纳多卢大学的323,264名开放和远程学习者。在整个研究过程中，比较了开放和远程学习者的参与时间水平以及他们的学术成就。当学习者更多地使用电子学习材料时，学业成绩将大大提高。
