This subtopic covers principles of Engagement– the level of involvement and attention a learner brings to a task–and Flow–a state of deep focus that leads to optimal learning experiences.
- Task Design and Challenge Levels: Ensuring that tasks are appropriately challenging helps learners achieve flow, avoiding boredom or frustration. Learning engineering teams calibrate task difficulty to match learner skills, creating conditions conducive to flow.
- Interactive and Multimedia Elements: Incorporating multimedia elements—such as videos, simulations, and interactive modules—enhances engagement. Learning engineering teams design multimedia content that aligns with learning objectives and captures learner interest.
