Justification for Using this Tool
Justification 1 - ARCS Theory of Motivational Design
Justification 1 - ARCS Theory of Motivational Design
- The ARCS Model of Motivational Design is met through Google Meet. Learners’ attention is captured through video as well as shared content and links. Meeting individual learner needs through support makes the learning relevant and promotes confidence and satisfaction for the learner (ARCS Model, n.d.).
- By using Google Meet, the instructor (or “more knowledgeable other”) can support learning via video (Social Development Theory, 2016). They can also share their screen for presentations.
- With Google Meet, participants can collaborate online at an agreed-upon time to work on a shared task or to share ideas with one another. This act of collaborative work supports learning and stimulates further thinking (Connectivism (Siemens, Downes), 2016).
- With Google Meet, personalization is applied when the instructor can participate at a designated time. Participants may personally engage with their instructor (or classmates) and potentially perform better (Clark & Mayer, 2011).
- With Google Meet, learners can work together synchronously in an online meeting room to achieve a common objective. We know that the ability to work together has been identified as a key competency for success.
Strategies for Use

Strategy 1 – Additional Support Sessions (1:48)
- Instructors for web-based learning modules can schedule additional support sessions for struggling students. If the instructor has communicated times that he or she will be available in the meeting room, students can join synchronously to ask questions for additional clarification.
Strategy 2 – Group Work (1:56)
- Provide a concise description of your strategy
