**Welcome and introduction**
 * 1. Introduction -**

Ask all stduenst to watch the ARCS module video.


 * The ARCS module (5 min)**

__What__ - a 3-5 min video.

__Content__ - objectives and outcomes for the lesson - history, ARCS, Motivational Design Model.

__Delivery__ - video link. individuals watch link in their own time/environment then rejoin group in connect.

**Explain session activities (What, how, where, when)**

- what are the activities that will be done during the session - how will the activities be done - where will the activities be done - when will each of the activities take place.

__Task__ Aaron - 1st draft of scripting. film and produce. Nicola - script contributions / ideas Thys - script contributions / ideas Susi - script contributions / ideas


 * 2. Group Activity 1: Motivational Design Model - Define (20 min)**



2.1 (5 min) - split class into groups (students will be grouped based on their elesson groups) - class goes to online break out groups - Adobe Connect.

__Task__ Aaron - Nicola - Thys - Susi -

2.2 (15 mins) - Provide group with Motivational Design model worksheet - Class group works through DEFINE, by refelcting on the eLesson their group designed and facilitated. (worksheet will be updated with instructions and appropriate guidance) - Define: - Clarify Problem, - Analyse audience motivation, - prepare motivational objectives

- Presenters facilitate breakout rooms. (facilitation will be limited. instructions provided must be clear enough that group can proceed on their own.)
 * **DEFINE Phase** (This is the analytical phase of the model) ||
 * ** Steps﻿ ** ||  ||
 * What is the motivational problem to be solved? If the problem is one of improving the motivational appeal of the elearning, then it is appropriate to use ARCS. ||  ||
 * Conduct an audience analysis to identify motivational gaps. Why are they not motivated? What motivational aspects are missing from the course? What may motivate students to learn from this eLearning course? Is the motivation intrinsic or extrinsic? (If the motivation is intrinsic, strategies to maintain the intrinsic motivation should be employed. If the motivation is intrinsic, motivational strategies to establish intrinsic motivation should be employed.) ||  ||
 * Prepare motivational objectives. Which motivational objectives do you want to achieve in this elearning course? Identifying motivational strategies will help you to better choose appropriate motivational strategies. Identify the behaviour, conditions and criteria form a motivational perspective that needs to be achieved. For example, “By the end of the module, all of the students in the class will //express confidence// that the can finish the unit successfully if they try hard.” ||  ||

__Task__ - Create / Develop worksheet based off Motivational Design Model Aaron - Nicola - Thys - Susi -


 * 3. Return to main Adobe area (5 min)**

Share results

__Task__ - Define what to insert here and plan it. Aaron - Nicola - Thys - Susi -


 * 4. Group Activity 2: Motivational Design Model - Design (ARCS) (45 min)**

2.1 (10 min) - Overview the concept of Design

2.2 (X mins) - Class goes to online break out groups - Adobe Connect. - Explain the appraoch we will follow fro teh DESIGN pahse in thsi eLesson - Students will be asked to reflect on their eLesson and work through the following tasks to apply the ARCS startegies - Presenters facilitate breakout rooms. (facilitation should be very limited. instructions provided should be clear enough that group can proceed on their own.)

By reflecting on the eLesson your group developed and presented, answer the following questions as a group:


 * Attention:**

1. Considering the Attention strategies presented in the Attention Strategies Table, did you use these startegies in your elesson. Indicate Yes or No for each startegy. (reduced strategy table to be inserted) 2. If you were given the opportunity to redesign your eLesson, which one of the strategies would you choose to implement? 3. How would you implement it?


 * Relevance:**

What tool/mechanism/approach did you use to ensure relevance for your audience?


 * Confidence:**

1.When you planned your lesson which difficulties did you anticipate your learners would encounter regarding: a. the information presented b. the eLesson interactions 2. How did you design for it?

For this activity all groups will be in teh main Adobe room. Upon the start of this activity, play song "Staisfaction". Each person completes the folloiwng task individually:
 * Satisfaction:**

1. Reflect on the eLesson we presented today and then completed the six survey questions below.

(six IMMS questions related to Satisfcation will be made available the main Adobe room for completion individually. The results will be made available after the surevy has been completed. The surevey will ideally be setup as a Likert surevey using 1 = Not True, 2 = Slightly True, 3 = Moderately True, 4 = Mostly True, 5 = Very True or if this function is not available within Adobe Connect we can use the simple Yes/No polling function available within Adobe Connect)

Questions:

1. Completing the exercises in this eLesson gave me a satisfying feeling of accomplishment. 2. I enjoyed this elesson so much that i would like to know more about this topic. 3. I really enjoyed studying this lesson. 4. The wording of the feedback after the exercises, or of the other comments in this lesson, helped me feel rewarded for my effort. 5. It felt good to successfully complete this elesson. 6. It was a pleasure to work on such a well designed eLesson.
