Design for Intrinsic Motivation: Learning Design Strategies to Drive Learner Engagement & Retention | LXP Jam with Philippa Hardman

​Design for Intrinsic Motivation: learning design strategies to drive learner engagement & retention.

​Drop-out & return rates for online courses continue to flatline ~ 8%. Those at the top of their game hit ~40%. Research shows that learners learn better when they are driven by internal reasons than external rewards or consequences. When designed intentionally, driving intrinsic motivation has the potential to significantly increase engagement with the learning process, which, in turn, reinforces motivation, retention & achievement.

​In this session, we'll explore questions like: 

• ​What does learning science research tell us about intrinsic motivation?

• ​How do we design for intrinsic motivation at each stage of the design process?

• ​What impact might we expect design for intrinsic motivation to have on our work?

​Hello 👋 I’m Phil and I’m obsessed with a wicked problem. Millions of people designed & delivered online learning experiences in the last decade, transforming education as we know it...but there’s a problem: online learning is broken.

​"We understand how humans learn, but translating this understanding into a set of principles & frameworks for online course design is incredibly challenging."

​Through 20+ years of research & experimentation at the intersection of pedagogy & education technology, I have developed the DOMS™️ Learning Design Framework - a new way to design learning experiences which makes it easy to apply learning science to learning design practices.
