In e-Learning and the Science of Instruction authors Ruth Colvin Clark and Richard E. Mayer— internationally recognized experts in the field of e-learning— offer essential information and guidelines for selecting, designing, and developing e-learning courses that build knowledge and skills for workers learning in corporate, government, and academic settings.
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.
