"This paper presents the findings of the research on the various interventions implemented by Open\r\nUniversity Malaysia and their impact on its learners’ level of Engagement in the Online Community.\r\nThe intensity of the Online Community which is the result of the interventions was measured using four\r\nvariables: Learner-Learner, Learner-Tutor, Learner-Staff and Learner-Content interaction. These\r\nvariables were then correlated to two other variables; their level of Engagement and Commitment to\r\nstay. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 1,500 undergraduate learners of Open\r\nUniversity Malaysia located throughout Malaysia. Results obtained from 1,116 respondents showed\r\nthat there was a strong correlation between Learner-Learner, Learner-Tutor, Learner-Staff, Learner-\r\nContent, Engagement and Commitment to stay. Multiple regression analysis carried out showed that\r\nthe learners’ Engagement explains 72 percent of the variance of their Commitment to stay. This study\r\nconcurs with many previous researches that reducing the feelings of isolation of open and distance\r\nlearners can help increase their level of engagement and reduce their attrition.
