Instructor Visible Effect

When teaching online instructor presence is crucial to establishing community through social connections. Additionally, when presenting information through video or multimedia, a visible instructor who gestures, or provides other visible cues to guide attention can support learning.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Signalling” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|1em|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Signalling principle

When presenting novel information, add visual cues to guide learner attention to key areas either by using colour, symbols or text on diagrams.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Split Attention” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|1em|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Split Attention Effect

When presenting visual information such as diagrams or graphs with explanatory text, place text within the diagram, at spatially nearby locations, instead of off to the side or below, like a map legend.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Transient Info” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|1em|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Transient information effect

When using multimedia materials, ensure that new concepts are not covered too quickly, and instead slow down the presentation, ‘chunk’ information into smaller, more digestible resources, or allow students agency to control playback of these materials.

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Redundancy” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|1em|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Redundancy Effect

When presenting novel information to learners, ensure that auditory and written explanations do not replicate already-presented visual information exactly, but instead highlight key points and serve to enhance learner understanding. If redundant information is present, consider removing it.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Modality” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|1em|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Modality Effect

When using multimedia, ensure that auditory (verbal) explanations support visual materials (text or images) without being redundant.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”First Person” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|1em|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]

First Person Perspective Eeffect

In learning domains that involve procedural motor tasks such as learning a new skill using one’s hands, presenting video demonstrations from the first person, instead of the third person perspective, can support learning.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Generative” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|1em|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]

​Generative Learning

In contrast to passive absorption of novel concepts and traditional studying techniques, learners benefit from generation and creation of their own understanding. Teachers can encourage active engagement with new ideas through summarising, practice testing, and the creation of video tutorials to teach others.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Human Movement” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|1em|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Human movement effect

Like the first-person perspective effect, when presenting procedural motor tasks for students to learn, use animations, and present them from a first-person perspective.

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Tracing” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|1em|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Tracing Effect

When studying visual learning materials such as diagrams or charts, teachers can encourage students to trace or use other hand gestures if they find it beneficial for their own learning.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Example” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|1em|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Example-based learning

In STEM domains that involve problem- solving based on established rules and sequences, provide worked out examples for students to study in conjunction with practice tasks / questions.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Spacing” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|1em|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]
