There are higher education institutions in Malaysia
which are at the stage of transforming from teacher-centred
teaching in the classroom to a more learner-centred teaching
environment. A number of innovations in teaching styles
including the use of technology such as online websites, games, elearning
applications and so on will be introduced to improve the
understanding of students. With the assistance of technology,
various learning tools or techniques were introduced and
incorporated into teaching and learning process. This includes
the online learning environment which supports synchronous and
asynchronous learning. Regardless of the advantages that online
learning offers, a variety of factors should be identified as crucial
to the success of online courses such as motivation. It is a key
factor in learning and achievement in online learning
environments. This paper examines the relationship between
accessibility, communication and motivation towards online
leaning. A case study was conducted on 331 students of Universiti
Teknologi Mara, Negeri Sembilan Malaysia. The results show
that accessibility and communication are positively significant
influence on students’ motivation to learn online. Hence, online
platforms for learning should be convenient for students to access
with feedback support from instructors and peers.
