Motivating learners to engage and succeed

Science-Based Strategies for Fostering Intrinsic Motivation

Even the best-designed learning fails when learners lack motivation. Understanding the delicate balance between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation is essential for creating learning experiences that truly engage.

This workshop explores the science behind learner motivation and provides practical approaches for designing experiences that naturally inspire engagement. You’ll discover how to create environments that foster intrinsic motivation while appropriately leveraging extrinsic motivation to support learning goals. Through evidence-based strategies and practical examples, you’ll learn to design challenges that maintain the perfect motivational balance.

Stop struggling with disengaged learners or relying solely on extrinsic motivation that disappears once incentives end. Start creating learning experiences that tap into powerful intrinsic motivation drivers, resulting in self-sustaining engagement that persists throughout the learning journey and beyond.

Discover how to transform reluctant participants into enthusiastic learners through motivational design that works with human psychology rather than against it.

Your people will learn how to:

  • Identify the hidden motivational drivers and barriers that determine whether learners engage or disengage, giving you the insights to influence engagement from the start
  • Apply proven motivational strategies that transform reluctant participants into enthusiastic learners, dramatically increasing completion rates and satisfaction
  • Create learning environments that naturally spark curiosity and internal drive, reducing the need for external pressure or incentives
  • Design perfectly calibrated challenges that keep learners in the motivational “sweet spot” between boredom and frustration
  • Incorporate meaningful choices that give learners a sense of control and ownership, increasing their investment in the learning process
  • Implement feedback approaches that maintain momentum and enthusiasm, preventing the motivation drops that plague most learning programs
  • Address and overcome common motivational barriers, giving you solutions for even the most challenging learning situations
