 * ==Surveillance and/or Evaluation destroy intrinsic motivation==
 * ==People can make the assumption they are going to be assessed, and it will ruin intrinsic motivation==
 * ==Intrinsic motivation is move powerful: cognitively engaged, creativity, persistence, experience pleasure from learning/performing, achieve at higher levels, etc.==

 * **Singing in the Shower
 * ===The first 45 seconds of both videos will demonstrate how people perform better and enjoy it more when there is no audience and no fear of being negatively judged.===

=Conclusion=
 * ==This was true in the beginning of our class. Our best discussions were on the forums. We were writing about topics of significance to us. I must have been intrinsically motivated because I was enjoying the task. I did not think it was being formally graded (which I am probably wrong) but if it allowed me to be intrinsically motivated, being wrong in this case is a good thing. To get the more robust conversations online, the proctor almost needs to be vague evaluation. The adult learners need to be writing for themselves, not a grade.==
 * ==Students (children/adults) should be provided tasks without being told they will be evaluated based on their work. If they can not find the intrinsic motivation to begin, a follow up message could tell them they would be evaluated.==
 * ==Using an online course management system (Moodle, probably others) give you the option to evaluate using different measurements. There is the traditional number grades, pass/fail, and also outstanding/satisfactory/unsatisfactory. I wonder if using an O/S/U system would still hamper intrinsic motivation?==
