Challenge: Engaging learners in an online environment where 80% is asynchronous and 20% are synchronous, virtual meetings. Summary: Applying a framework like SDT can help faculty view their courses from a motivational perspective. As faculty, we want to change students knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs with hopes that they will take this into their larger world. We do this through how we develop and teach our courses. There is no one answer for a student, a faculty member, a course, or a program. Instead within and across courses, we must employ myriad tactics. Therefore, we have offered a variety of activities that we have found useful and encourage others to share their ideas.
