The instructional systems and learning technologies program at Florida State University (ISLT@FSU) is seeking contributions to be used in direct support of our students. Thanks to the generous donations of several alumni and faculty, we are able to fund scholarships, assistantships, stipends, and conference travel for students.
Next month, 13 ISLT students are scheduled to present their work at the 2015 AECT conference in Indianapolis. In fact, four of these students will participate as finalists in the PacificCorp Design Competition. We estimate it will cost each student $750 - $1,000 to attend the AECT conference (airfare, hotel, conference registration). However, the ISLT program can cover a third of these expenses for each student.
Please consider making a donation by following the steps outlined below.
1. GO to https://one.fsu.edu/foundation/donate/give-online.
2. SELECT the link “More Designations” in the middle of the page.
3. TYPE F07631 in the field labeled Fund # and then hit search. The following search result should appear at the bottom of the page (you may have to scroll down to see it):

4. SELECT the link “Instructional Systems Student Support Fund”
5. The correct fund should now appear on the donation form. Please be sure the designation is for the Instructional Systems Student Support Fund (F07631)
6. COMPLETE the rest of the fields in the form. Note that the Tribute Information is optional.
7. CLICK the NEXT button at the bottom of the page after you have completed the form and follow the directions provided.

ISSA PD Series - Dr. John Keller: ARCS-V Model - Oct 9, 12pm
Dear ISLT family,
This Friday, October 9th, is the second of the ISSA professional development talks for this Fall. We are honored to host Dr. John Keller, Professor Emeritus at FSU. His talk, "Stimulating Learner Motivation: ARCS-V Model Characteristics, Applications, and Example", will take place at 12pm in room G152, Stone Building, ground floor.
If you cannot attend in person, you can watch the live broadcast of the session at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSCPi1VnyOY
Here is the abstract of Dr. Keller’s presentation:
Educational goals and objectives can range from a specific requirement to recall detailed information to the formulation of abstract conceptualizations resulting from one's own interpretation of the phenomena under study. The ability to create instruction with such wide ranging goals is facilitated by the use of the systematic instructional design process which has been formalized and validated repeatedly for many years. However, this process is not sufficient for creating optimal learning environments because learner motivation is an important component of the learning process and it is not adequately addressed in the traditional instructional system design process. 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. Furthermore, it is important to realize that the motivation of teachers and designers is closely linked to student motivation and the motivational requirements of both teachers and students must be taken into consideration in this design process. This process is illustrated in a case example of motivational design.
We hope to see you there – or online,
