For this Discussion, consider yourself in the following scenario: As an instructional designer, you have noticed an increased attrition rate in a particular online course. The facilitators of the course have reported back to you that students have demonstrated a lack of motivation to participate in and complete the course. Based on Learning Resources, first identify what factors are most likely to motivate someone in an online classroom (these factors could be intrinsic or extrinsic). Next, create a plan to boost the motivational level of these online learners utilizing Keller’s ARCS model and/or one of the other motivation theories you learned about this week. Be specific in your methodology for how you are going to increase motivation and be certain to link your methodology to the various components of the motivation theory upon which your plan is built.

Post a summary of motivational factors in an online classroom and, as well, summarize a plan to heighten motivation of online learners using Keller’s ARCS model.
