Thank you so much!

Comments on the learning objectives

1. Gain an understanding of what motivational design is.

I'm not quite clear about this objective. Do you expect that teachers will know the concept of "motivational design" or understand what motivation is and means, or understand the importance of motivation in instruction? I think the latter two are more important/needed than knowing the term of motivation design.

2. Identify and define the four elements of the ARCS model.

"Define" can be replaced with "elaborate," to indicate that the target learners need to connect to their own knowledge and rephrase the meanings.

3. Understand and be able to implement strategies that can be used to increase student learning.
