Abstract:
Recently, due to COVID-19 pandemic, the educational process in most educational institutions has transformed to e-learning. Thus, there has been an increasing amount of research interest in both synchronous and asynchronous e-learning. Although from an economical perspective, asynchronous e-learning seems to be the best option for educational institutions, retain students' motivated for the entire learning process still one of the biggest. Being one of the most used methods for the asynchronous e-learning, there is a need to find the best architecture for the Web-Based Tutoring System (WBTS) to be able to retain the students' motivation. Therefore, this study investigates the needed architecture for the Interactive Web-Based Tutoring System (IWTS) to retain the students' motivation, as WBTS should interact with the students in order to retain their motivation. Firstly, we reviewed the related work from the fields of assessing motivation in e-learning, interactive e-learning, and intelligent tutoring systems to find the most appropriate components for the IWTS system. Thereafter, we constructed our suggested architecture for IWTS. We also provided a full description for the components of the architecture and the relation between them to guide the development of any WBTS system to be able to retain the students' motivation.
