John Keller, developed the ARCS Model during the 1980’s as a way to boost motivation during learning. The ARCS Model contains four main categories:

• Attention- getting and holding learner’s interest and attention
• Relevance- The learning has to show a kind of usefulness
• Confidence- There should be success opportunities and some personal control
• Satisfaction- There has to be rewards, and feedback.
