Based on scientific theory of how people learn and the results from long-term research studies, this much-needed book includes guidelines on a range of e-learning issues including the best use of text, visuals, and audio; the optimal amount and type of practice interactions; the best use of communication tools such as chat and discussion boards for collaborative learning; lesson design techniques to build problem-solving skills; and uses of virtual coaches to improve learning. Each chapter includes examples drawn from Internet and from CD-ROM courseware and checklists of — what to look for— in e-learning courses you are reviewing or designing. For all the design principles included, you will find a summary of research evidence and a brief psychological explanation so you will learn not only what but also the why behind what makes e-learning effective.
Written for e-learning consumers and designers, both novice and seasoned alike, this essential resource shows how to apply a range of research-based multimedia learning principles to the selection and design of effective e-learning courseware. Three types of e-learning are used to illustrate how the principles can be applied to diverse types of multimedia. These include e-learning designed to provide information, to build procedural skills, and to build problem-solving skills.
Richard E. Mayer is professor of psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is an internationally recognized expert in the application of learning psychology to design of instruction in multimedia learning environments and the author of Multimedia Learning.
