Our Week 12 Adobe Connect meeting will start at 5:00PM on Wednesday, May 25th.

During this session, we will investigate and explore the strategies you can use to enhance motivation in elearning using John Keller’s well known ARCS model.

Specifically, this session will aim to provide you with an understanding of the ARCS model, introduce you to ARCS strategies, and help you evaluate which strategies will enhance motivational design.

Rather than focussing on the theory, our activities are aimed at practical consideration and application of the concepts of the model.

During the activities and group feedback, you may be required to use the audio function of Adobe Connect. Please ensure that you can contribute using text as well as voice.

In preparation for the session, please read the following core papers, and if you wish to explore the subject in more details, the optional papers and additional resources provided in Blackboard.
