Motivated learners will find value in the most poorly designed resources. Conversely, the best designed instruction will have little impact on the unmotivated learner. That’s why it’s important for L&D professionals to understand the psychology of motivation and to acquire a set of tools that can keep learners engaged and motivated. This course introduces L&D professionals to the essential motivational theories (like self- determination theory and gestalt theory) and helps learners connect those theories to practical application.
