How applying ARCS motivates learners
In her article, Dr. Stefaniak explores how setting clear goals can provide direction and purpose to learners, and why acknowledging and rewarding learner achievements is essential. To ensure that learning materials remain relevant to learners, Dr. Stefaniak advises instructors to regularly gather feedback and update their learning materials to align with the needs and goals of their learners.
A collaborative and supportive culture enhances motivation. Using ARCS model to design training programs can help instructional designers bring other functions into the fold, by establishing a common framework for creating relevant and engaging learning materials.
