Abstract

The paper explores the current online learning environment and the limitations of the Learning Management System (LMS). The paper identifies three requirements for a successful online learning environment and presents a digitally transforming socio-educational app that facilitates a cooperative learning experience. To transform the current learning environment into a socially cooperative learning environment emotional and practical persuasive techniques, persuasive technology principles and models, and gamification elements are utilised in a mobile based application. The paper outlines the key features of the proposed application.
