Retention has been considered a major issue in MOOCs. Although many studies have examined factors affecting the learners’ motivation to complete, there is still a need to examine these factors in different cultural and contextual circumstances. This study is intended to explore the factors affecting the learners’ motivations to complete MOOCs on a country-specific platform, AKADEMA, and to compare these factors as well as the participants’ characteristics with the literature. An online survey helped the researcher collect data. Instructor-learner interaction, instructor feedback, and course attendance were found to be the factors with the lowest mean scores, while perceived effectiveness had the highest mean score. Course content, technology, and instructor support were the factors that were most closely related to perceived effectiveness. Instructor-learner interaction and technology were the factors that were most closely related to course attendance.
