Motivation in PLEs

The document discusses how gamification can be used to motivate learning by "stealing" motivational elements from games such as feedback loops, community encouragement, and time limits. It argues that these game mechanics tap into intrinsic brain mechanisms and can help sustain motivation over the long term for learning as they do for playing games. The workshop aims to debate how teaching with personal learning environments can be improved by incorporating motivational structures inspired by game design.
Motivation in PLEs
- 1. ITMEDIA Motivation in PLEs - Should probably have had a subtitle mentioning the word gamification? Annette Q Pedersen University of Copenhagen @anetqedu . i The PLE Conference 2011, Southampton University.
- 2. Question 1: What is your motivation for participating in this workshop?
- 3. ITMEDIA A Core Conversation... This will be a guided debate! ...about what KEEPS us motivated to learn. My hypothesis is: Gamification has strong motivational power My hope is: We can “steal” the motivational effect for educational purposes (Don’t worry -> it’s not by adding a silly layer of points on top of things!) The purpose of this debate: Can we make our teaching with PLEs even better, by “stealing” ideas from game mechanics to build in even better motivational structures - or even better let the students do it themselves? . But first, let me elaborate a little bit on why games are interesting, and what I i mean by gamification... The PLE Conference 2011, Southampton University.

- 9. Game Mechanics = Brain Mechanics? Doing good. If the deal to do good is simple, you WILL choose it. Community driven encouragement. If the recognition is there, you WILL do it. Unbroken feedback loops. If the feedback is instant, you WILL use it. The gaming factor. If the factor is right, you WILL play it. Time limit. If the timing is right, you WILL run for it. Morality contracts. If the contract is reasonable, you WILL sign them, and doing so, you WILL behave more honorably.
