Hi team C--I liked how you used personal examples (instead of generic ones) to explain the use of worked examples. Cyndi, you used an example about how you teach by using writing samples for your students. Sharing worked examples with students can help teach them what you expect before starting a project and give them an idea on how they can start their own projects. This helps the learner make better sense of the assignment. In e-learning, this may be especially important since the learner is in an online environment without you, the instructor, there in person to guide them --Bridget White, LT A

Explain appropriate uses of worked examples.

The personalization principle links the learning to the students pasts experiences and knowledge. The example of online discussion questions enables this principle through actively asking the student to provide the link between the current training and his past learning. Since many students experiences are similar a link is also formed between learner enhancing learning by have a shared experience.

The example of the individual education plan training was proof for the need for pre-training. Not every student comes to the class with the prerequisite skills to complete the course. This is especially important in a multimedia learning environment where the student may not have used this type of training environment. a pre-training tutorial or information paper on how to navigate the system is a necessity in the multimedia format.

All formal training in our universities are are built on the principle of segmentation. Students learn material best when it is provided in small segments that build on the previous segment. Multimedia lessons are no different a should have the material segmented into small lessons that build on the previous segment.

__ Appropriate Uses of Worked Examples __ I teach a variety of subjects everyday but the one subject that I use worked examples in the most is in writing. I want my students to see the process and watch me model how to write fluently. As I write, I talk them through the process and then they use this example to help them write their own. For example, let's say I am teaching them to write a persuasive essay. I would write one using the steps I want them to follow, we may then do one together, and then they will do it on their own. This allows for less of a cognitive load. - Cyndi Dykhouse
