Thank you for your great post responses and examples!!! An example from my encouragement (for intrinsic motivation) is basically emphasizing the true satisfaction of taking time to really read through the lessons --- helping my students to see real life application from their readings. Gormley, Colella, and Shell (2012) noted that online learning encourages "… self-regulation, intrinsic motivation, and independence. Building an online classroom environment that fosters the development of these behaviors for students is key to their success." (p. 177).
