An interesting three-minute video by Paul Burow discusses the application of neuroscience to organizational development. It covers six social learning needs we think can be applied to eLearning. Targeting these needs will result in more effective eLearning courses.
The whole point of taking psychology into consideration is the end product: individuals who are happier and who will probably experience effective eLearning. Take a peek at some thoughts on the psychology of design:
Don't begin an eLearning course without a clear path in mind; like any other effort, planning is key. For that purpose, a storyboard can come in very handy.
Every eLearning project is different, and comes with a different set of demands. However, when it comes to slide design, there are some best practices that fit all or nearly all situations. Following these basic tips ensures a clear and effective lesson, while still leaving room to customize and add your own personal touch.
Educational psychologists have identified several principles of learning, also known as laws of learning. By following these tested principles, you can help your students learn more effectively. Ignore them at your own risk!
Each teaching unit is divided into a number of elements, indispensable for enabling learning. Within each one, there is the necessary DNA to build effective, coordinated and comprehensive didactic situations that completes the learning cycle. We will discuss each of its components in this post.
Although online training shares many features with classroom training, it also has some unique attributes. The role of the instructor also differs. All these mean that learning and development professionals need to alter their teaching styles, learn new skills, use different methods, master design and development tools, and move away from a instructor-centered methodology to a learner-centered environment.
eLearning professionals need to raise the bar and reset their expectations if their learners are to consider courses worthwhile. The following ten points are things we have found successful eLearning professionals do differently. We hope they can help developers change their mindsets to create the best courses possible.
eLearning is a valuable tool in education. But, how can we ensure that we maximize the potential of those who are engaged in eLearning? Certainly, if there is content we expect people to learn, we want that content to “stick” in their minds and to be something they can recall later. Personalizing learning, which must include making the eLearning more human, is one important way to maximize the potential from eLearning.
Creating brain-based courses is actually relatively easy, especially when following the acronym B.R.A.I.N. B.A.S.E.D., coined by Sarah Hielman in 2006 (Hilemans, S. (2006). "Motivation Students Using Brain-based Teaching Strategies." The Agricultural Education Magazine, 78(4), 18-20).
