In recent years, many online platforms have been joining to these new systems allowing to create a virtual environment, even professional institutions, such as colleges and universities, are offering their entire specialty in different online programs. Although, online education has evolved and improved since its apparition after the internet commercialization, many problems still remain unsolved and challenging its effectiveness; self-motivations and virtual drop-out are one of the common factor among virtual learners, besides the lack of required technology and resources in different places, especially in developing countries. Even there are problems, virtual education is changing the way how we consume educational content and it is helping to connect students and teachers all over the world in a gain-to-gain way, so in the coming years, its role is expected to be more critical in our education system.

This paper is to observe new model of learning teaching, exploring the effectiveness in raising student’s motivation and find out the solution of lacking technology. The study is qualitative and quantitative, it finds out the factor of student’s interest and finally it is used all scores to get a result. The result is most students are interested on the model of learning teaching and the score is rising up 45%.
