Escape from infinite freedom: Effects of constraining user freedom on the prevention of dropout in an online learning context
作者：
Highlights：
• Focuses on the fact that infinite freedom of e-learning services causes dropouts.
• Explains how constraints positively affect the prevention of dropouts.
• Suggests a guideline that adapts constraints for the optimal e-learning experience.
• Proposes a cost-effective concept of e-learning service to enhance concentration.
• Shows constraints' effect in e-leaning based on psychological reactance theory.
