Motivating Students
-
-
-
Goal orientation
Motivation is enhanced when the value of understanding material presented is linked to students’ personal objectives or values.
-
Attribution
Motivation is enhanced if students believe the outcome of what they do is a result of the effort they make.
Learning is improved when students associate success or failure with the effort they make as opposed to their ‘ability’.
Meaningful learning engages powerful emotions, especially if there is some small measure of risk. It is important to emphasise this point: High challenge with low risk of failure enhances motivation and neural connections.

Learning

Mind extended via distributed cognition, sensation and memory
Identity
Virtual identity unfettered by physical attributes such as gender, race or disability
The self is continuously reformed via an ever-shifting series of distributed networking with others and with technological tools
The self as an electronic nomad, no longer needing a local physical infrastructure to articulate identity
Instruction
Learners influence design of content, pedagogy and assessment based on individual preferences and needs

Assessment
Student products often involve nonlinear, associational webs of representations (e.g. authoring a web page to express understanding of a topic rather than authoring a paper that synthesises expert opinions . . . in a virtual world there are many experts)
Peer-developed and peer-rated forms of assessment complement grading, which is often based on individual accomplishment in a team performance context
