We do this with the understanding that self-efficacy beliefs are context specific [Hodges, Performance Improvement Quarterly, 20(3–4), 7–25, 2008]. From there, we review the literature on the learners’ level of preparation and how self-efficacy can be improved in online contexts.en-USEducationWeb-based instructionSelf-efficacyStudent-centered learningLearner autonomyBook chapter
