E-learning Principles

Blog 1 :Explain the e-learning principles your lesson includes and how they promote critical thinking skills.

The public speaking storyboard includes several e-learning principles including the coherence principle, redundancy principle, personalization principle, and the contiguity principle. Each principle promotes critical thinking by using cognitive thinking. The learner is actively engaged through visuals and auditory.

·         The redundancy principle effectively combines graphics with words without over stimulation.

·         The personalization principle creates a personal learning environment which engages the learners a personal level.

·         The coherence theory eliminates any unnecessary sounds, graphics, or text that hinders the learner experience by distracting the learner.

·         The contiguity principle places text and graphics near one another.

 

The learner will have several opportunities throughout the storyboard to use his or her critical thinking skills. The practice activity allows users to use their skills by answering a series of questions and the collaborative activity allows learners to identify certain parts of the speech making and presenting process.
