Article: Mapping learning management system features of persuasive design strategies to inform the design of persuasive learning management system Journal: International Journal of Learning Technology (IJLT) 2021 Vol.16 No.3 pp.246 - 263 Abstract: The term 'persuasive' indicates the effect of a relevant subject or object on others through persuasion technique. It derives from the domain of persuasive technology that focuses on using technology to shape or change human behaviour/attitude. In recent years, persuasion has become an essential topic in designing human-computer interaction. This paper seeks to shed light on the emergence and consolidation of persuasion in the design of online learning environments and their effect on the users. We synthesise the literature on online learning by reviewing the literature on persuasive design in the online learning context. Based on the review, we identified several persuasive strategies that are used effectively in online learning. These persuasive design strategies include reduction, tunnelling, tailoring, self-monitoring, liking, personalisation, social role, reward, praise, suggestions, trustworthiness, competition, and social comparison. A mapping of possible persuasive design for a learning management system is suggested. Inderscience Publishers - linking academia, business and industry through research

Abstract: The term 'persuasive' indicates the effect of a relevant subject or object on others through persuasion technique. It derives from the domain of persuasive technology that focuses on using technology to shape or change human behaviour/attitude. In recent years, persuasion has become an essential topic in designing human-computer interaction. This paper seeks to shed light on the emergence and consolidation of persuasion in the design of online learning environments and their effect on the users. We synthesise the literature on online learning by reviewing the literature on persuasive design in the online learning context. Based on the review, we identified several persuasive strategies that are used effectively in online learning. These persuasive design strategies include reduction, tunnelling, tailoring, self-monitoring, liking, personalisation, social role, reward, praise, suggestions, trustworthiness, competition, and social comparison. A mapping of possible persuasive design for a learning management system is suggested.
