Novices and experts

Mon, 28 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000

An important step at the start of course development is analysing the target group, which among other things gives us information about the learners’ prior level of knowledge. When choosing the method to apply, it matters a great deal whether we are dealing with novices, intermediate learners, or experts with deep familiarity with the subject. In this article we look at how learners at these different levels differ, and at how those differences should shape our methodological decisions.

The myth of learning styles

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000

We have probably all come across the theory of learning styles in one form or another. Visual, auditory, verbal, analytic, holistic — we could go on listing the names of the various categories. These classifications have been part of common knowledge for so long that we may forget to question or check the science behind them. The evidence for this is that if you search for the phrase “learning styles” you will find page after page of tips, descriptions, methodological cheat sheets for teachers and learning-style questionnaires. Not a single piece of writing that examines the scientific basis of the idea. We are trying to fill that gap here.

Humour? Don't make me laugh!

Wed, 02 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000

It may seem self-evident that we remember funny things far better, and that whatever we remember better must serve learning. Instructional design experts are fond of using humour as a tool to increase engagement and motivation and to create a positive attitude towards the subject. But what about its role in conveying knowledge? That is the subject of this post.

Cognitive load theory

Wed, 26 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Last week we asked in a Facebook post whether it is a good idea to present an e-learning question set in the style of a TV quiz show. Perhaps with music playing underneath, to make it even more exciting? And what if we went further still and embedded the whole course in an intergalactic spaceship story, where my fire-safety knowledge — which extinguisher to use on a waste-paper basket, say — could save an entire universe?

Spare us the canned feedback

Congratulations, that’s the right answer! … Wrong answer! … Try again! … You rushed that one! If you have ever seen an e-learning course, you have probably met at least one of the sentences above. How much pedagogical value do they add? Congratulations, that’s the right answer… not much.

How to write good test questions

Thu, 04 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Writing test questions is the easiest thing in the world.

The statement is true

The statement is false

Whichever answer you thought was correct, you are right. Writing test questions is easy; writing good test questions is considerably harder. Even today, the most widespread way of checking acquired knowledge in adult education is still the self-check and examination test.

Learning is a journey… not a destination

Tue, 26 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000

We have all studied in an organised setting at some point in our lives — if nowhere else, then certainly at a school desk. We prepared for end-of-topic tests, for final exams, for university examinations. Most of us have at least once left it to the last minute, choosing to cram, fuelled by the adrenaline of panic, on a “whatever happens, happens” basis. And if we have that experience, we may also remember that one read-through was usually not even enough to scrape a pass. So why has the idea taken root in corporate training that a one-hour e-learning course or a full-day workshop is enough to transfer knowledge?
