I agree. I have always found that i learn better when i am motivated by emotion. (i.e. fear of failure, desire to be the best, concern over hurting others, etc.) I found that if you can supply an emotional "hook" to a course, it always makes the content stick with the learner.

Good point! Have you specifically used Bloom's take on this to design your e-learning course?
- TerryCoe10 years agoCommunity MemberI have tried. I used the "fear of hurting others"approach on a course on Privacy and Confidentiality.
I used statistics showing the internal accidental data sharing is the number 2 cause of identity theft in a corporate environment. Then showed that fear in my characters and steered them towards learning about the methods to protect sensitive information.
Its been a very big hit here.- AllisonLaMotte10 years agoStaffInteresting! I can see how that would be a great motivator. Thanks for sharing!
