The essential e-learning design manual, updated with the latest research, design principles, and examplese-Learning and the Science of Instruction is the ultimate handbook for evidence-based e-learning design. Since the first edition of this book, e-learning has grown to account for at least 40% of all training delivery media. However, digital courses often fail to reach their potential for learning effectiveness and efficiency. This guide provides research-based guidelines on how best to present content with text, graphics, and audio as well as the conditions under which those guidelines are most effective. This updated fourth edition describes the guidelines, psychology, and applications for ways to improve learning through personalization techniques, coherence, animations, and a new chapter on evidence-based game design. The chapter on the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning introduces three forms of cognitive load which are revisited throughout each chapter as the psychological basis for chapter principles. A new chapter on engagement in learning lays the groundwork for in-depth reviews of how to leverage worked examples, practice, online collaboration, and learner control to optimize learning. The updated instructors materials include a syllabus, assignments, storyboard projects, and test items that you can adapt to your own course schedule and students.Co-authored by the most productive instructional research scientist in the world, Dr. Richard E. Mayer, this book distills copious e-learning research into a practical manual for improving learning through optimal design and delivery.Get up to date on the latest e-learning researchAdopt best practices for communicating information effectivelyUse evidence-based techniques to engage your learnersReplace popular instructional ideas, such as learning styles with evidence-based guidelinesApply evidence-based design techniques to optimize learning gamese-Learning continues to grow as an alternative or adjunct to the classroom, and correspondingly, has become a focus among researchers in learning-related fields. New findings from research laboratories can inform the design and development of e-learning. However, much of this research published in technical journals is inaccessible to those who actually design e-learning material. By collecting the latest evidence into a single volume and translating the theoretical into the practical, e-Learning and the Science of Instruction has become an essential resource for consumers and designers of multimedia learning. From the Inside Flap Over the 15 years since the first edition of this book, various forms of digital learning have grown from 10% to about 40% of training delivery media. The emergence of virtual classrooms and evolution of asynchronous formats on multiple digital platforms make the research on what works to promote learning more important than before. In this Fourth Edition, you can review guidelines, checklists, and examples that guide your major e-learning design and development decisions. Whether you are reviewing off-the-shelf courseware or creating your own lessons, this book will address fundamental issues such as: What kinds of graphics help learning and what kinds of graphics hurt learningWhich audiences most benefit from graphicsWhen and how to best use animationsSituations in which it is best to use audio to describe graphicsSituations in which it is best to use text to describe graphicsHow to place text on the screen to maximize learningHow to avoid mental overload caused by inappropriate use of graphics, text, and audioThe benefits of personalizing lessons through informal language and on-screen avatarsWays to increase social presence in virtual and asynchronous learning eventsHow to maximize learning benefits of examples and demonstrationsThe best forms of engagement for learningPractice activities and placement that optimize learningThe types of feedback that promote le
