What it's about
While learning theories like behaviorism, cognitivism, etc., might sound like old concepts that don't have much to do with modern methods of learning, the truth is they are the foundations or building blocks of eLearning as we know it today. Even if we don't realize it, we use rewards to motivate learners, repetition to reinforce new knowledge, or color to capture attention. These
and many more practices stem from these learning theories, and they shape contemporary eLearning in more ways than we know. Let this eBook be a guide into how we can use these eLearning building blocks to elevate course design, boost learner engagement, promote knowledge retention, and better understand what can make online courses more effective.
