On the Continuity of Life: Tracing Early Influences on my Career Development, the Creation of the ARCS Model, and the Future

Abstract

This paper contains information in support of the presentation I made at this conference . However, it is not an exact text of what I said. My presentation included all of the topics in this paper, but not the detail. The presentation was highly visual with a great many photographs. Also, it contained some surprises and specific points of interest that were meaningful in the context of the presentation, but would not be as effective if they were presented here in ordinary prose!
