E-learning

85. E-mail enables students and faculty to communicate with each other and with people all over the world. Students send questions to the instructor and instructor can transmit the answer instantaneously to all students. Faculty can hold “ electronic office hours” so that students can ask questions and receive answers almost immediately. Faculty can create “electronic suggestion foxes” where students can post their comments about the course. E- mail

89. Applications of graphics Rieber (1994) proposed five applications of graphics that relate to learning outcomes and events of instruction; these include: cosmetic – graphics serve only as decoration motivation – graphics serve to arouse curiosity attention-gaining – graphics serve to focus the learner’s attention on the instruction presentation – graphics serve to "demonstrate or elaborate a lesson concept" (p.50) practice – graphics serve to provide visual feedback

90. A dual coding theory of learning from visual and verbal materials. (Mayer, 1993)

91. Framework of Mayer (1993) This framework postulates the formation of three types of mental "connections": 1) visual material is used to mentally form a internal visual representation; 2) verbal material is used to form a verbal representation, thus forming a verbal representational connection; 3) the learner builds referential connections between the visual representation and verbal representation.
