Abstract

The Interest-Driven Learning Design Framework (IDLDF) provides guidelines for designing learning activities that achieve the benefits of interest as a motivator for learning. The IDLDF addresses two major challenges to the implementation of interest-driven learning. The challenge of covering learning objectives is addressed by establishing relevance. The challenge of insuring enough strength to motivate learning of all learning objectives is addressed by using other forms of motivation as context motivators.
