Effective e-learning transcends mere digitization of traditional training, aligning instead with cognitive principles of learning. Cognitive psychology suggests that learners benefit from active engagement, repetition, and context. Traditional e-learning often fails by overwhelming learners with lengthy content and passive assessments, leading to poor retention. Instructional designers are encouraged to apply cognitive load theory to simplify learning experiences, chunk information for better digestion, and use visuals that enhance rather than distract. By aligning e-learning with how the brain inherently functions, instructional strategies can be more effective and result in better long-term knowledge application.
The human brain isn't built for passive consumption-it thrives on interaction, repetition, and contextual learning. Traditional e-learning often works against this natural process.
Cognitive Load Theory suggests that instructional design should reduce extraneous information, chunk topics, and use visuals strategically to optimize learning.
