A recent study on students' intentions to take online courses highlights that performance expectancy, hedonic motivation, and flexibility are the main reasons why students adopt online learning programs. This finding is like what I have seen in the study of student enrollment trends in higher education. If we want to discover the secret of turning student curiosity into a commitment to completing an academic program, we need to understand the motivations for student course enrollment.

The passion for teaching is a powerful force, but it's being tested like never before. Across the globe, educators are facing a crisis of burnout, and a significant, often overlooked, factor is the ever-increasing burden of administrative tasks. This isn't just about paperwork; it's a systemic issue that's driving talented tutors and teachers away from the profession, with profound consequences for the future of learning.

Librarians have been actively collaborating and talking about it almost every day, whether it's creating tutorials and digital learning objectives or thinking about the conversations to have with instructors.

The survey measured belonging by asking students to rate their agreement with the statement "I feel that I am a part of [school]" on a five-point scale, where 1 means strongly disagree and 5 means strongly agree. Students who rated their sense of belonging in their second year one step higher on the five-point scale than they did in their first year-such as moving from neutral to agree-were 3.4 percentage points more likely to graduate within four years.
