Make It Meaningful--Engaging Courses By Design with Clark Quinn
Make It Meaningful--Engaging Courses By Design with Clark Quinn
This four week course focuses on the principles and practices to systematically design learning that’s more than just engaging, but effective. It’s the missing matter in learning experience design, the necessary emotional companion to the learning science. You will steadily build the understanding and skills to unpack the elements that will motivate learners and make learning more effective.
Dr. Clark Quinn has taken his decades of research into engagement for learning game design, as well as learning science, and worked it into an accessible, and practical approach. After completing this program, you’ll be able to apply the principles in a systematic process to create learning that is not only effective, but also engaging. You’ll hook learners from the beginning, and carry them through the experience to achieve the necessary outcomes.
