- Your first design consideration should be that the human brain can only hold so much information in working memory at one time. Too much information leads to overload and can decrease how information is moved to long-term memory.
- Research has shown that we can hold 5 to 9 discreet bits of information in working memory at one time. This is expressed by the formula 7 +/-2. This has led to a practice known as chunking, whereby a large volume of information is broken into manageable chunks. If the information is very new to the learner, or the learner does not have a pre-existing mental model in which to integrate it, they will probably have difficulty assimilating more than five new ideas at a time.
- Science course through discussion board.
- Visuals are information-dense because they can be used to represent ideas, create context and show relationships. In glance, the viewer can learn a great deal.
- In 2007 the Poytner Institute studied how people read online. One of their findings was that people who read what they called “non-traditional narratives” performed better on comprehension tests than those who read only text. So the lesson is to, whenever you can, create a meaningful visual representation of your ideas.
