inquiry & design project
textSubmit a short description of an educative experience you might create as a way to explore some ideas related to this class.
This project is an opportunity for you to explore the nature and design of compelling experiences. Your task is to try to create a compelling experience for an audience and, in doing so, come to better understand its nature and design. This project consists of at least two parts. One is the designed materials and experience itself; the other is your thoughts on the design and nature of this experience. The project and a presentation are due at the end of the semester

3. Other insights?
csikszentmihalyi - money, happiness, flow
textMoney, Happiness, & Flow
How does Csik set up his argument?
If “flow” is the answer, what was the question?
flow
textFlow describes a particular kind of experience that is so engrossing and enjoyable that it becomes autotelic, that is, worth doing for its own sake even though it may have no consequence outside itself.
characteristics of flow
text- feel as though you almost don't exist- being somehow separate from the routines of everyday life.- involvement in the activity so demanding that no surplus attention is left to monitor any stimuli irrelevant to the task at hand- sense of effortless performance- one has to be in control of the activity to experience it, yet one should not try to consciously control what one is doing.- effortless - clear awareness of what is happening- get immediate feedback of how they are doing- abilities match the challenges of the task
deci & ryan: self-determination theory
text“…factors have been examined that enhance versus undermine intrinsic motivation, self-regulation, and well-being. The findings have led to the postulate of three innate psychological needs—competence, autonomy, and relatedness—which when satisfied yield enhanced self-motivation and mental health and when thwarted lead to diminished motivation and well-being.”
self-determination theory
textThe fullest representations of humanity show people to be curious, vital, and self-motivated. At their best, they are agentic and inspired, striving to learn; extend themselves; master new skills; and apply their talents responsibly.
self-determination theory
textPerhaps no single phenomenon reflects the positive potential of human nature as much as intrinsic motivation, the inherent tendency to seek out novelty and challenges, to extend and exercise one's capacities, to explore, and to learn.
self-determination theory
textComparisons between people whose motivation is authentic (literally, self-authored or endorsed) and those who are merely externally controlled for an action typically reveal that the former, relative to the latter, have more interest, excitement, and confidence, which in turn is manifest both as enhanced performance, persistence, and creativity, self-esteem, and general well-being
self-determination theory
textThree innate needs
Competence: a sense of efficacy
Autonomy: a sense of an internal locus of control
Relatedness: a sense of social security and relatedness
malone: qualities of engaging games
textChallenge- obvious and compelling goal- uncertain outcome- self-esteem
malone: qualities of engaging games
textFantasy- degree of social or physical impossibility
malone: qualities of engaging games
textCuriosity- optimum level of informational complexity; novel and surprising, but not incomprehensible- sensory and cognitive curiosity
