The real Nole experience.

Invited Speaker: Dr. John Keller (Professor Emeritus, Florida State University)
We are honored to have Dr. John Keller talk about his ARCS-V model. In his words, “This presentation will describe how both instructional and motivational design play a role in the creation of effective and appealing learning environments and will then focus on the model formerly known as ARCS (attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction) which has recently been expanded to include the concept of volition; hence, ARCS-V model.”
