Résumé
Le modèle de résolution de problèmes en motivation de Keller a été utilisé pour diminuer les obstacles à la motivation des étudiants d’un cours universitaire de comptabilité offert à distance. Ces problèmes ont été répertoriés dans les écrits scientifiques pour ce type de cours. Des messages en lien avec ces questions ont été acheminés à 33 de ces étudiants, ce qui a eu pour effet d’augmenter significativement leur motivation, leur réussite et leur persévérance comparativement à un groupe témoin de 33 étudiants (p < 0,05). Les messages adaptés aux problèmes que connaît ce type de clientèle ont permis d’atteindre un bon rapport coût/bénéfice.

Abstract
In an effort to reduce motivation problems that plague students enrolled in distance learning courses, the Keller model was employed with distance learning students taking a university accounting course. Lack of motivation has been identified and explored in the literature as a problem in such courses. Relevant messages addressing these issues were sent to 33 students, which resulted in significantly increased motivation, persistence, and success rates compared to a control group of 33 students (p < 0,05). Messages tailored to the problems facing distance learning students therefore achieved a cost/benefit.
Keywords:
