Abstract
Sustaining learning in the times of a global crisis is complex. It is beyond the previously employed online learning and teaching approaches: this new setting brings on the same page the challenge to support learners not to lose their motivation and interest in learning, and the opportunity for new learning and teaching formats to emerge and be developed. It also makes space for reconsidering autonomous learning as a choice for maintaining the inherent need for self-determination. This study presents how students’ motivation is affecting the usage of an online self-assessment service—enhanced with analytics—and the different perspectives of more vs. less motivated learners to continue their learning, despite the contextual shift due to the Covid-19 crisis.
