Possible extension of current research

I was just reading an article by Zimmerman about self regulation in learning. Concerning the ongoing research on Learning Orientation and Sense of Community in Online and Classroom sections of an Educational Foundations Course, how might self efficacy play a part?

We are already talking about adding motivation to learn as a variable. Might self efficacy (or perhaps computer self-efficacy) be another interesting variable?
Questions to ask might include - Is there a relationship between learning orientation and motivation?
A relationship between LO and self-efficacy? between motivation and self-efficacy? etc?

Steven has already used this sample for testing computer self efficacy as it relates to the Online Student Orientation. But what about either computer self efficacy as it relates to learning Blackboard, ppt, word, etc? Or perhaps just self-efficacy as it relates to the course?

If learning orientation, motivation and self-efficacy are situational, are they also related? And what does that mean for designing online and classroom based courses?

Just random thoughts at this point.
