A Conceptual Model Participatory Engagement Within E-learning Community

Abstract The growth of e-learning has increased reflected from development of technologies provides numerous enhancement improve communications, collaboration, interaction, and productivity. Explosive of ICT has changed the learning ecosystem landscape, nurturing social approach and learning becoming more socialized. However, e-learning tend to used individualistic approach caused seclusion and engaging the learners become an obstacle for e-learning. Focusing in on solely on technology or content aspect cannot be the factor to attracting the learners to engaging in e-learning. The aims of this research to study possible components of participatory engagement to influence the process of engagement in e-learning community based on participatory learning theory. The conceptual model is integration of individual or group of learners, collaborative leaning and highlights the importance of interaction of learners and educators in facilitating each other to engage in e-learning community. Hence, this research identifying participatory engagement component within the e-learning community are essentials in stimulating a strong and sustainable e-learning community. It can be done by incorporating participatory learning model into the e-learning community to enhance engagement which much needed in e-learning community. The introduction of participatory engagement components helps in fostering engagement within the e-learning community. The research employed systematic analysis by framing urgency of the problem based on relevant journal accordingly of the relevant work, summarize information gathered and finally interpreted the information. Based on the information summarized, it is critical and extremely valuable to e-learning community empower by learner through interaction of learners for sustained e-learning community, besides educator – learner interaction as facilitator. In e-learning community, collaborative learning can caused variety of interaction activities contribute to participatory engagement are 1) interactions of learners 2) interaction of educators and learners 3) Interaction with content 4) self-reflection and 5) collaborative learning in e-learning community.
