Blog Post 1-Elearning Principles

The active learning storyboard contains many e-learning principles to include:


  • Multimedia- visually stimulating graphics and audio/video that is used to extend learning, allow for concrete understanding of concepts, and pull the learner in with interesting presentation.
  • Contiguity- Text and audio/video complement one another and provide the learner with convenient information in good proximity to each other.
  • Modality- Graphics coincide with audio and video to initiate learner understanding rather than simple glitzy, distracting, busy appearance.
  • Personalization- The storyboard is created with conversational tone that a learner can relate to, rather than business tone which would turn a learner's interest elsewhere.
  • Coherency- The graphics, visuals, training modes, activities, and information all work together to solidify learner comprehension. Each aspect of the storyboard is presented with specific purpose and placed in an area of the lesson that builds on the last. This provides a strong foundation of learning.
  • No redundancy- In order to review and encourage learner understanding, activities and presentations vary. Concepts are not repeated, but are built on through a variety of methods.
As the learner decides the most important aspects of active learning, uses the main aspects during practice exercises and worked examples, presents the information as a group to their peers, and brainstorms various points of progress, critical thinking is absolute. The learner is presented with information using these six principles of e-learning, and is further expected to extend and present a level of understanding that requires research, outlining main objectives and presenting in a way that is understandable to a group of their peers.
