Examples of principles that do not promote learning are as follows:
text only e-learning pages
Online text that does not include any graphics is not engaging to the learner. Text that is providing explanations without using media are confusing to the learner.
formal style of communication
A formal style of communication is difficult for learners to relate to. When learners can relate to the speaker, the information becomes more personal and therefore more relevant.
continuous lessons that lump large quantities of information on a topic together.
Information needs to be broken into smaller segments so that the learner can digest and understand new concepts. Too much information can overwhelm a learner and prevent him from understanding new information.
information without worked examples
When learning a new concept, it overworks a student to have him practice examples without assistance. Worked examples are necessary to help learners understand how a problem is supposed to be solved.
