Abstract

Distance learning has become an effective alternative to face-to-face learning in many fields, including the health professions. This study aims to identify the factors influencing nursing and health techniques students' motivation using learning management systems. A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted across students from public institutions in Morocco, providing distance education in health sciences. Student motivation was tested using the Situational Motivation Scale. The learning management system was evaluated through a questionnaire containing 04 sub-components: course content quality, online learning activities, course technology, and student Support. Both correlation and logistic regression analyses were conducted to meet the study objectives. A total of 1061 students took part in the study. The multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that course content quality (aOR=1.771; 95% CI=1.402-2.236; p<0.001) and online learning activities (aOR=1.306; 95% CI=1.010-1.688; p<0.042) were the key factors impacting students' motivation. This study highlighted the importance of prioritizing student motivation in the design and development of distance learning courses through learning management systems.
