What will make your students engage extra in their studies? How can we, as teachers, influence this?
In this video we are using the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to explain how people – students – react when they are facing a challenging task that requires creativity, conscientiousness and perseverance. Like when you study a university course!
It is about perceiving the opportunity to make a choice on how to participate (self-determination), about being part of a positive social context (relatedness) and about not experiencing helplessness (but rather competence).

In two following videos we continue to first sketch out four principles to apply when you design an effective learning environment online (Effective learning environment online [only in Swedish]), and lastly we present a Canvas Course Template that is built around the four principles. [The video is in Swedish, but the template is avaliable in both Swedish and English] .
