The ADDIE Model
http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/history_isd/addie.html
Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning consists of three main
assumptions: there are two separate channels (auditory and visual)
for processing information;there is a limited channel capacity;
andlearning is an active process of filtering, selecting,
organizing, and integrating information.

Cognitive Overload
Multimedia Principle
Contiguity PrincipleDefinition:People learn more deeply from
words and graphics than from words alone (Mayer, 2008)
In e-learning, the Contiguity Principle has two purposes: 1)
placement of words near the graphic2) synchronize spoken words with
graphics
Contiguity Principle
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTThe goal of formative assessment is to
monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be
used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to
improve their learning.
More specifically, formative assessments:help faculty recognize
where students are struggling and address problems immediatelyhelp
students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas
that need work
Formative assessments are generally low stakes, which means that
they have low or no point value. Examples of formative assessments
include asking students to:draw a concept map in class to represent
their understanding of a topicsubmit one or two sentences
identifying the main point of a lectureturn in a research proposal
for early feedback

Modality Principle uses narration and graphics simultaneously to
enhance the users comprehension of what is being displayed in the
presentation in conjunction with the verbal content.
SYMBOLS OF EDUCATION
Redundancy Principle uses narration, text AND graphics. It is
not a good practice to use onscreen text with narration. This could
cause memory overload if the learner is trying to read onscreen
text and comprehend the narration simultaneously. The text becomes
more distracting to the presentation.

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT The goal of summative assessment is to
evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by
comparing it against some standard or benchmark.
Summative assessments are often high stakes, which means that
they have a high point value. Examples of summative assessments
include:
a midterm exama final projecta papera senior recital
Information from summative assessments can be used formatively
when students or faculty use it to guide their efforts and
activities in subsequent courses.If you are interested, you may
