Popis: The need to initiate intrinsic motivation in students, especially in Japanese students, in online education is introduced. An overview of the online educative process is then presented with constructivist learning theory and the various opportunities for learning interactions. These include the student-to-materials interaction, the student-to/from-tutor interactions, and the student-to-group interactions. Then within this framework, the current State-of-the-Art is presented for how to initiate the various intrinsic motivations to learn, focusing on the sub-types of personal intrinsic motivation; challenge, fantasy, and curiosity. The comprehensive literature review presented provides the rationales behind specific courseware and tutor activities to initiate these intrinsic motivations.
