Hi,
I am working on the chapter titled "Self Determination Theory" focusing on its applications in an educational setting. A large aspect of my theory is autonomy and I have been researching a lot about autonomous motivation. I think our chapters are quite similar and I will be linking your page to mine under the 'internal links section'. Here is a resource that I have found really helpful in explaining autonomy and its relation to increased/decreased motivation:

Hi there,
Your book chapter is looking fantastic - a minor thing I would recommend is putting the Attributes of autonomy-supportive leadership into a table. Information about how to create tables can be found here - Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter/Tables
All the best with submission.
Gday, I've found a source that I think might be useful for your topic :) hope it helps you get started:

The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.
Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks.
Separate theory and research sections can work; but also consider developing a more semantic structure which allows for integration of theory and research.
Arguably the most important section will be on fostering autonomy support because this will demonstrate an ability to apply theory and research. Education and workplace applications may sense as two key domains. Consider building out some case studies/examples in these areas.
General development of key points for each section, with relevant citations.
Avoid providing too much background information (e.g., about SDT). Instead, briefly summarise generic concepts and provide internal wiki links to further information. Then focus most of the content on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. So, the theory section should focus more directly on "autonomy support".
Also include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles.
Consider including more examples/case studies.
Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end.

Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter.

Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
Key strengths are the focus on the topic, explanation of different aspects of theory, integration of research, and use of examples.
The main area for improvement could be the quality of written expression.
For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
Relevant research is reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
Table 2 is promising and interesting, but a bit tricky to understand - how could be it be improved?
When describing important research findings, consider indicating the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
Avoid starting sentences with a citation unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, it is more interesting for the the content/key point to be communicated, with the citation included along the way or, more typically, in brackets at the end of the sentence.
The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages.
The chapter would benefit from a more developed Overview and Conclusion, with clearer focus question(s) (Overview)
Layout
The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
Avoid having sections with only one sub-section.
Learning features
No use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive.
Basic use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.
The presentation is fun, easy to follow, and interesting to watch and listen to.
The presentation makes excellent use of animated drawing-style slides - love it!
Well paced. Excellent pauses between sentences. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read.
The visual communication is superbly supplemented by self-created animation.
