Motivation in Instructional Design: Mapping Stakeholder Fire, Arc, Mandate, and Signal

By Benson Njoroge

Instructional design isn't just about modules and rubrics-it's powered by motivation: the fire that fuels designers, the arc that drives instructors, the mandate that guides supervisors, and the signal that reflects students' engagement.
Blending theory with practice, this book weaves together six foundational frameworks-Self-Determination Theory, Job Demands-Resources, Expectancy-Value-Cost, Conservation of Resources, Herzberg's Two-Factor Model, and Keller's ARCS-with real-world case studies and checklists.Designers learn to fuel creativity while honoring structure.Instructors find ways to preserve authenticity within systems.Supervisors lead with fairness that empowers others.Students become active signals in designing learning that works.With reproducible tools, motivating stories, and fresh insights on AI-augmented design, this book is a guide-and an invitation, to design not just for content but for the human energy behind learning.
