Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this research is to examine how college students’ academic and social motivation relate to their engagement in online and offline learning. In particular, we are interested in understanding how students collaborate with peers and use AI tools to support their learning.
This study is approved by BSU IRB (# FY2026-22).
The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.

- Demographic questions

Inclusion
