Description
Everyone is motivated. The question is, “What do you want students to be motivated to do?” As Faculty and Instructional Designers, we may be tasked with delivering information to students through an online platform. The types of activities we develop and the way students interact within the online environment matters. Do you provide students with opportunities to connect with peers? Do you utilize extra credit points as incentives? Do you know what your students expect to learn from the course before beginning? Do you consider your students when setting up due dates or opening a module? All of these questions have a motivational basis. This presentation will run through the most popular motivation theories and how they can be leveraged within your course to foster student motivation. Specific learning theories reviewed will include: Behaviorism, Self-determination Theory, Expectancy Value Theory, and Social Cognitive Theory. Recommended approaches will be incorporated into the presentation delivery, so be ready to engage!
