3. Content in the context of an eLearning course is any material – text, audio, videos, images,
etc. that can be used by instructional designers as raw material to
design and develop an eLearning course.

5. Chunking is a method of
presenting information by
splitting information into
small pieces or “chunks” to
facilitate quick and easy
reading and understanding.
6. Helps learners understand the
subject matter easily
Enables the use of different
media to present the content
Is useful when working with
limited screen spaces of
various devices
Content Chunking
11. Step 3 - Set Broad
Learning Objectives
Setting learning objectives clearly
mentions what learners are going to
learn and what they will achieve on
completion of the course.
13. Step 5 - Chalk out a Broad
Course Map
A “broad course map” gives a big
picture of the entire course and
provides direction to chunk the
course content.
15. Human brain has the
capability to hold only limited
information at a time.
The Magic Number 7, plus or minus 2, describes that number of ideas,
facts, or issues that an average individual can hold in his working
memory is 7 ± 2. This is called the Rule of 7 ”“ - George Miller

18. Guidelines for Content chunking
at the course level
Set learning objectives
Set enabling or subordinate objectives
Define the scope of the content
Decide which Instructional Strategy is to be used
Decide on the devices used to access the course
Adopt an evaluation methodology
Determine the duration of the course
19. Content chunking
at the screen level
will be the storyboard.
The output of screen
level content chunking
20. Guidelines for Content chunking
at the screen level
One Learning Point on each screen
“Need-to-know” content on-screen
Reusable Learning Object (RLO)
21.
22. Effective chunking is the key to effective course development.
Chunking is done at the course level
and finally at the screen level.
Multiple media are used in an
eLearning course.
Chunking is done keeping in mind the
overall learning goals of the course.
Editor's Notes
Setting learning objectives clearly mention what learners are going to learn and what they will achieve on completion of the course.
