How can we learn from E-Learning?
There are Three Metaphors of Learning.
Response Strengthening- The learner is a passive recipient of
rewards or punishments, and the teacher is a dispenser of
rewards (strengthen) and punishments (weaken).

Information Acquisition-the learner’s job is to receive

information and the instructor’s job is to present it.

Knowledge Construction-attending to relevant

information, mentally organizing it into a coherent
structure, and integrating it with what they already know.
How can we learn from e-learning?
The Three Metaphors of Learning

RESPONSE STRENGTHENING
Learning Is: Strengthening or Weakening of Associations

Learner Is: Passive Recipient of Rewards and Punishments

Instructor is: Dispenser of rewards and punishments

Architecture: Directive

Inter-Activity: Medium

Used to perform procedure training goals such as software skills

 How can we learn from e-learning?
The Three Metaphors of Learning

INFORMATION ACQUISITION
Learning Is: Adding information to memory

Learner Is: Passive recipient of information

Instructor Is: Dispenser of information

Architecture: Receptive

Inter-Activity: Low Inform

Used for training goals such as new hire orientation

How can we learn from e-learning?
The Three Metaphors of Learning

KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTION
Learning Is: Building a mental representation

Learner Is: Active sense maker

Instructor Is: Cognitive guide

Architecture: Guided Discovery

Inter-Activity: High

Used for Perform strategic training goals such as problem solving

A cognitive theory of multimedia learning and long-
term and working memory

The first step is to pay attention to relevant words and

images in the presented material

The second step is to mentally organize the selected

material in coherent verbal and pictorial representations

Integrating—the final step is to integrate incoming verbal and

pictorial representations with each other and with existing
knowledge
Three Important Cognitive Processes:
1. Selecting words and images
We select words (written and/or heard)

The first step is to pay attention to relevant words and

images in the presented material
Three Important Cognitive Processes:
1. Selecting words and images
And we select images-pictures such as videos,
live demonstrations such as hands-on training

The first step is to pay attention to relevant words and images in

the presented material
 The Important Cognitive Processes:
1. Selecting words and images

And then these words and images will be picked by the

senses for processing
The Important Cognitive Processes:
2. Organizing words and images

The second step is to mentally organize the selected

material in coherent verbal and pictorial representations
The Important Cognitive Processes:
3. Integrating Knowledge

Meaningful !
learning occurs
when the
learner
appropriately
engages in all of
these processes!

Integrating—the final step is to integrate incoming verbal and pictorial

representations with each other and with existing knowledge
The Multimedia Effect-

Based on cognitive theory and research evidence, we

recommend that e-learning courses include words and graphics,
rather than words alone

Multimedia presentations can encourage learners to engage

in active learning by mentally representing the material in
words and in pictures

Incorporate graphics that help the learner understand

the material or organize the material
E-learning In Conclusion
E-Learning is the only technology-based delivery
vehicle that can make ongoing dynamic
adjustments to the instructional path based on
learners’ responses.
