Rich Carr, BcID's video: Educating Online Design: The Enduring Idea

How to design instructional material that aligns with how the brain works, and how my students learn? You know my subject matter. You know your audience. You know how much time you have to transmit this information. How do you communicate this information to your students so that they are 'leaning in,' engaged, and learning with deep understanding? Focusing on ONE or TWO Big Ideas is accessible for learners. Understanding chunks of information that are connected, through scaffolds, to the Big Ideas, avoids cognitive overloads...maintaining focus and engagement. Enacting active learning methods for the single user, single screen, distracted mind, keeps learners brains engaged and alert. Delivering new information, in this pedagogic model of Educating Online Design, that is brain-centric and fun, motivates learners to stay focused, to be present in their pre-frontal cortices, and rewarded with neurotransmitters like Dopamine and Serotonin, for self-monitoring and self-driven success. www.theeducationengine.com www.carrknowledge.com
