Recommendation

By concisely summarizing vital learning-science principles, learning technology expert Clark Quinn provides a guide for instructional design strategies. With a basis on insights into known and effective design research and practices, this guide is ideal for new – and perhaps intermediate-level – instructional designers. Quinn takes care to provide examples of both effective (and less effective) instructional designs. He provides detailed guidelines on how to separate hype and myth from valid, evidence-based learning science. Quinn advocates for instructional design practices that emphasize learning by doing.

Take-Aways

  • “Learning science” explores research and evidence into what helps and what hurts learning.
  • Learning happens when neurons fire together and then wire together.
  • In the process of learning design, minimize distractions and guide learners to effectively focus their attention.
