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 03:36, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Topic development feedback

The topic development 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 the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title and sub-title Content and capitalisation of the title/sub-title has been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents Author name removed; authorship is as per page history User page Created, with description about self Add link to book chapter Social contribution Summarised with indirect links to evidence. Add direct links to evidence. To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions. Section headings Under-developed, 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings. See earlier comment about Heading casing. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings. Avoid providing too much background information. Instead, briefly summarise generic concepts and provide internal wiki links to further information. Then the focus of most of the content can be on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. Key points Use Wikiversity bullet-points (rather than dashes) Overview - Consider adding focus questions. Include more in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters. Consider introducing a case study in the Overview. Consider including more examples/case studies. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end. Image An image (figure) is not presented. References Good. The first ref probably should be in External links For full APA style: Use correct capitalisation Use correct italicisation Use the new recommended format for dois - http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2014/07/how-to-use-the-new-doi-format-in-apa-style.html Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within a volume Resources Good

Chapter review and feedback

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. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via UCLearn Canvas, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter. Overview - consider building on the sub-title by presenting focus questions to help guide the reader and the chapter structure. A stronger Conclusion could be presented with more specific take-home messages. More examples would be helpful, including perhaps self-tests of motivation. For additional feedback, see following comments and these copyedits. Theory Basic but sufficient coverage of theory involving the relation between the target constructs is provided. A wide range of motivation theories are described. Ideally, discussion of these theories would be more clearly tied to measurement of motivation. Research Overall, this chapter makes basic use of research. More detailed examples of research using major motivation measurements would be helpful. 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/or meta-analyses would be helpful. Written expression Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is reasonable. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. Layout See earlier comments about heading casing. Learning features Excellent use of embedded interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding links links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Use in-text interwiki links, rather than external links. Good use of images. No use of tables. A table could be an effective way to summarise the main features of different types of motivation measurement. Good use of feature boxes. Basic use of quizzes. The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than being presented as a set of questions at the end. No use of case studies or examples. APA style Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets. See new doi format. Social contribution ~7 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Canvas site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is a basic, insufficient presentation. This presentation makes use of powtoon tools. Structure and content Several of the comments about the book chapter also relate to this presentation, particularly that there is too much emphasis on general motivational theory and too little on the measurement of motivation. Measurement of motivation is not addressed until half-way through the presentation. Add and narrate a Title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation. Add and narrate an Overview slide (e.g., with focus questions), to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages. Communication The presentation makes basic use of text and powtoon image based slides with narrated audio. Well paced. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read. Production quality Communicate the chapter title and sub-title in both the video title and on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Visual display quality was OK. I-E motivation slide text not viewable. Audio recording quality was OK - possibly an on-board microphone was used because keyboard clicks were audible. Consider using an external microphone. The narration seems to be cut-off between some slides. Mute the music during narration to help the viewer concentrate on the combination of visual information and narrated audio. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided. A link from the book chapter is not provided. A link from the book chapter is provided. A written description of the presentation is not provided.

ERG theory comment

More current research into ERG Theory, especially in the business spheres, works at operationalising the theory and applying it to behaviours. These studies further the discourse around, real world applications, validity of the model, and the relationship between motivation, ERG theory and behaviour.
