Hi,I added two new 'external links' related to self-determination theory to your chapter. I found them helpful. I hope you do too.

Hey, you have a really interesting topic! I found putting text boxes into my page was a nice way to break up large chunks of information. I found the https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Help:Pretty_boxes website really useful in adding in text boxes. An example code for a simple box is:

;Test Box!

I also came across an article by Cook and Artino (2016) called "Motivation to learn: An overview of contemporary theories" (doi: 10.1111/medu.13074) that might be helpful. Good luck with your chapter! --U3143109 (discuss • contribs) 05:53, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Title, sub-title, TOC Good User page Good Social contribution Excellent Section headings Reasonable initial structure Consider zooming the headings in closer to the topic (i.e., the sub-title question) - e.g., consider combining "What is learning?" and "What is motivation?" into something like "What is the motivation to learn?" Also consider focusing "Fostering motivation" into something more like "Fostering the motivation to learn" Key points Consider including something like a case study (e.g., in the Overview) Basic development, but lack of key points directly relating to how the question will be answered Conclusion and Overview sections are under-developed - these are the most important sections Image Increase the image size so that it is more easily viewed Use APA style for the figure caption References Use APA style (e.g., check capitalisation and use of issue numbers) For latest APA style recommended format for dois see http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2017/03/doi-display-guidelines-update-march-2017.html Resources See also - Good start External links - Good start.

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings (or sentence casing). For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 08:01, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter.

Overall Overall, this is a solid chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. The main area for improvement is in the quality of written expression. Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits. Theory Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained. Research Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory. When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Greater emphasis on major reviews and meta-analyses would be helpful. Written expression Written expression Abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.) should only be used inside parentheses. Layout See earlier comments about heading casing. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections. Learning features Interwiki links are well used. Good use of images, tables, quizzes, case studies, and examples. Grammar The grammar for many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the and tags). Use serial commas. Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour). Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the tags). Proofreading More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard. APA style Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text. Refer to each Table and each Figure at least once within the main text. Use APA style for Table captions. See example. Citations are not in full APA style e.g., When citing two authors, do not include a comma between their names. In-text citations should be in alphabetical order. References are not in full APA style e.g., Check and make correct use of italicisation. Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within volumes.

Overall Overall, this is a very good presentation that makes effective use of Powtoon. More time was available (e.g., to cover more about research). Structure and content Well selected and structured content - not too much or too little. The presentation is well structured (Title, Overview, Body, Conclusion). Add and narrate an Overview slide, to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered. A Conclusion slide is presented with a take-home message(s). Communication The presentation is fun, easy to follow, and interesting to watch and listen to. The presentation makes effective use of text and animated image based slides with narrated audio. Well paced. Excellent pauses between sentences. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read in the time provided. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images. Production quality Use the full chapter title and sub-title on the opening slide and in the name of the video because this helps to match the book chapter and to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio and video recording quality was excellent. A copyright license for the presentation is provided. A link to and from the book chapter is provided. A written description of the presentation is provided.
