Self Worth Theory: The Key to Understanding & Overcoming Procrastination | Nic Voge | TEDxPrincetonU

Nearly 80% of college students report that procrastination is a significant issue for them. Procrastination is not a matter of mere “laziness” and the solution is not simply “better time management”. Could it be that procrastination is actually a highly effective strategy for self-protection and that’s why we continue to do it? In this talk, Nic unravels the surprising and perplexing motivational dynamics underlying our procrastination that lead so often to disengagement and burnout. Illustrated with examples drawn from two decades of coaching students, he introduces self-worth theory of motivation, a powerful research-based conceptual framework for understanding and overcoming procrastination, avoidance, and over-commitment. Dominic (Nic) Voge is Senior Associate Director of Princeton University’s McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning, and author of “Life Beyond Grades” (Cambridge University Press). His work focuses on helping students truly thrive and achieve a sense of well-being not only academically, but in all realms of their lives. Nic is a founding member of The Resilience Consortium, the Princeton Perspective Project, and Principedia, initiatives designed to deepen engagement and learning among students. He maintains private consulting and coaching practices. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Luis von Ahn: a pioneer of crowdsourcing

Luis von Ahn launched the first African language course on Duolingo as part of his Design Talk. In reCAPTCHA (acquired by Google), he crowdsourced the digitisation of books. In ESP Game he gamified tasks for humans that computers couldn’t do on their own, like picture recognition. And then his latest project, Duolingo, gamified language learning. Launched in 2011, Duolingo has 170 million users and is described as the world’s most popular language-learning platform. Taking to the stage at Design Indaba Festival 2017, von Ahn unveiled the next phase of evolution for the platform: the launch of the first African language, Swahili. “We’re really excited about launching Swahili on Duolingo, our first ever African language course. While we’d love to offer every language in the world, our resources are limited and we have to be selective,” said von Ahn in an interview. Spoken by more than 100 million people worldwide, Swahili will remain a key language for the next generation of leaders, explained von Ahn. “There are more people learning languages on Duolingo in the US than people learning languages in the entire US public school system today. It’s used by education ministries in developing countries and some of the wealthiest people in the world alike,” he added. According to von Ahn, the new course took shape through a collaboration with the Peace Corps in a development process that began in October 2015 with the help of 4 volunteers in Tanzania. “Now, after 17 months of hard work, we’re excited to officially launch this course! We have more than 44,000 users on the waiting list who are eager to learn Swahili,” he said. “As far as we can tell, this course also represents the most widespread access for free Swahili language education that has ever existed.” “Additionally, the team that created the course noted that when Peace Corps volunteers in Tanzania speak Swahili, they become more effective in the communities they serve and earn more respect from local people as a result of speaking the language.” Through the launch, von Ahn hopes to inspire empathy and understanding through language learning. “It can feel like speaking different languages divides us, but we hope that learning new languages helps to mitigate the fear and prejudice that comes from a lack of understanding other cultures,” he adds.
