 * Relevance Strategies and Application ||
 * || Strategies  ||  Practical Application  ||
 * R1 |||| Experience ||
 * R1.1 || State explicitly how the instruction builds on the learner’s existing skills. ||  ||

 * R1.3 || Find out what the learner’s interests are and relate them to the instruction. ||  ||
 * R2 |||| Present Worth ||
 * R2.1 || State explicitly the present intrinsic value of learning the content, as distinct from its value as a link to future goals. ||  ||
 * R3 |||| Future Usefulness ||
 * R3.1 || State explicitly how the instruction relates to future activities of the learner. ||  ||
 * R3.2 || Ask learners to relate the instruction to their own future goals (future wheel). ||  ||
 * R4 |||| Need Matching ||
 * R4.1 || To enhance achievement striving behaviour, provide opportunities to achieve standards of excellence under conditions of moderate risk. ||  ||
 * R4.2 || To make instruction responsive to the power motive, provide opportunities for responsibility, authority, and interpersonal influence. ||  ||
