Comparing Online Courses Through Cognitive Science Lenses
Using cognitive theories, we examined instructional design principles applied in three online courses: Bloomberg Market Concepts on Bloomberg Terminal, After Effect CC 2015 Essential Training on Lynda.com, and What is a Mind? on FutureLearn. We learned a lot from contextualized instances of multimedia learning design.
