ll What do these quotations have in common?

They evoke fundamental qualities of human motivation and persistence: the desires for adventure, for explorations into the unknown, for expanding our boundaries of knowledge, feeling and understanding, and for having the persistence and courage to conquer personal and world obstacles that might otherwise impede these quests.

 

ll Long Term and Immediate Goals

The goal of this website is to become a gathering place for people who are trying to gain a better understanding of these human qualities, or, in other words, of the essence of human motivation and volition. At present, this prototype version of the website is primarily a source of information about one particular motivational theory and process for systematic motivational design (the ARCS Model), about people engaged in inquiry about motivation and how to influence it, and about areas of motivational research that are closely related to the ARCS model. In time, I expect to expand this site to include more interactive elements to assist in the growth and dissemination of knowledge and experience among researchers, designers, and teachers who are interested in this fundamental component of the human condition.

Peruse the pages of this website to learn about the concept of motivational design, the theoretical foundation of the ARCS model, the systematic motivational design process, examples of ARCS-related research areas, and a few of the places and people associated with ARCS-related studies and practices.
