"When it comes to successful eLearning design, everybody should agree that there’s no such thing as too much information about how the human brain operates. It’s wired for social learning. Our respective environments actually shape our brains and the rest of our bodies."
Beth Dichter's insight:
SH!FT has published a new post that looks at how one can meet social learning needs in an online environment. The post includes a link to a short video (~3 minutes) that looks at "the application of neuroscience to organizational development." The six areas are also found in a face2face environment (although there may be students whom do not experience all of them). To create a more effective eLearning course consider these areas as you design it: 1. Belonging to a group 2. Ability to express 3. Ability to compete 4. Ability to support and be supported by other learners 5. Ability to see what's being learned 6. Excitement about applying learning More information is available on each of these concepts in the post.

"We are now in the age of visual information where visual content plays a role in every part of life. As 65 percent of the population are visual learners, images are clearly key to engaging people in eLearning courses."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Visual learning is an important component of how our students learn today. Although this post focuses on eLearning, it is also an important tool to use effectively in a face2face environment. This post discusses six areas where visual make a difference, providing a number of statistics and facts. What are the areas? * Visuals stick in long-term memory * Visuals transmit messages faster * Visuals improve comprehension * Visual cues trigger emotions * Visuals motivate learners * Incorrect use of visuals can also deter learners Learn more about each of these areas by clicking through to the post.
