Title/Caption: Hype 3
Narration: TV combined sight and
sound, and could bring live events
like space missions right into the
classroom. It was also seen as one
answer to the teacher shortage and
it appeared to be very promising.
The Ford Foundation invested
millions into programs and the
federal government also pitched in
cash. By 1971 more than $100
million had been poured into
educational TV.

Title/Caption: Disappointment 3

Narration: History repeated itself with

another medium after another
coming along, a lot of enthusiasm for
that medium, followed by
disappointment in the extent to which
that medium changed the nature of
the instruction taking placed in
classrooms.

Title/Caption: Trouble in paradise

Narration: The problem is that we

give too much attention to
technology. Learners are forced to
adapt to technology when in reality
technology should aid the cognitive
mind in learning.

Title/Caption: Cuban
Narration: According to Cuban (1986) instructors are relying on the learners themselves to adapt to
the technology. So, the design of Elearning, the technology is not consistent with how people tend
to learn. Unfortunately, research on the cognitive mind is not taken into account when designing
Elearning.

Title/Caption: Teamwork makes the
dreamwork
Narration: I totally agree with both of
your statements and according to
Shavelson and Towne No one would
think of getting to the moon or wiping
out a disease without research
Research-based knowledge is needed
as a guidance. In a learner-centered
approach the focus is on how people
learn and technology aids the learner
in the learning process (Mayer, 2009).

Title/Caption: Research

Narration: Research shows the

learners cognitive capacity for
processing information is quite
limited, therefore, that is the
instructional professionals
greatest challenge. (Sweller, Ayres

Title/Caption: The theories
Narration: Dual channels, Limited capacity and active processing need to be taken
into account applied when creating Elearning. The cognitive mind can only focus on
7 items per 20 seconds. Based on cognitive theories of how people learn, the focus
should be on instructional goals.

Narration: As instructors we need to minimize cognitive processing that is unrelated to the
instructional goal. Keeping the focus on the essential material that enables a deeper
processing for the learner.

Title/Caption: The final
statement
Narration: So from this
conversation I am hearing that
instructors need to: take into
account the limitations of the
cognitive processing for
learnings, and this can be
accomplished by focusing only
key points that support the
instructional goals.
