The E-learning Curve at Edublogs

Constructivism is part of the Cognitivist gene pool, and as such it is appropriate to look at the impact of digital multimedia on cognition and learning.
In E-Learning and the Science of Instruction (2003), Ruth Colvin Clark and Richard E Mayer explore the research on the impact of media in e-learning across seven design principles:

Multimedia
Contiguity
Modality [...]

In his 2006 essay First Principles of Instruction, M. David Merrill reviewed a representative range of instructional design theories, models, and research, “from basic descriptive laws about learning to broad curriculum programs that concentrate [...]

As I’ve got some holiday time at my disposal over Christmastime , I’ve decided to refresh my knowledge on Learning Theory in the context of how I use the various learning models and methodologies. So that means that there will be a large amount of information concerning Cognitivism and its offshoots, and much less about [...]
