What is chunking?
1. Grouping content so that working memory (taking in what is new) is not overloaded
![Page 6: Making the Shift: From Classroom to Online Course Design: Session 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681644c550346895dd6189d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is chunking?
1. Grouping content so that working memory (taking in what is new) is not overloaded 2. Limiting content so that connections can be made to schematic structures of long term memory (what is already known)
![Page 7: Making the Shift: From Classroom to Online Course Design: Session 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681644c550346895dd6189d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Metaphor: Dance steps
A dance is made up of a series of steps. When learning a dance, dancers first learn a ‘chunk of steps, typically correlating to music (8 beats).
Once learned, each set of steps becomes one “chunk” or more complex step.
When steps are combined into a dance – with practice- the entire dance becomes one ‘chunk.’

CHATHow are classroom courses typically “chunked”?

generalizations, principles, etc.
– Processes– Problems

ActivityChunking can differ across disciplines with a focus on:
• Foundational concepts• Procedures• Problem solving• Applied skills
What will differ across disciplines? Levels of education (undergraduate, graduate)?
![Page 18: Making the Shift: From Classroom to Online Course Design: Session 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681644c550346895dd6189d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Time: How much?
1 chunk = 15-20 minutes
• 3 chunks = 1 lesson• 3 lessons = 1 unit• 3 units = 1 module• 5 modules = entire course

Intervals?
1. Time needed to process new information2. Time needed to prepare processed
information3. Time needed to respond (synchronous
events)
Recommendation: Provide time estimates for assignments and asynchronous activities.
![Page 20: Making the Shift: From Classroom to Online Course Design: Session 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681644c550346895dd6189d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Example Intervals
Principle1. Time is needed to process
new information
2. Time is needed to prepare processed information
3. Time is needed to respond (synchronous events)
Application1. Read (2 hours), watch (20
min., discuss (1 hour chat) the chapter on social conflict (over 3 days)
2. Create a Voicethread™ that illustrates your position on the causes of and solutions for social conflict (1 week)
3. In chat, count to 10 before responding

Key Points for Chunking
• Keep the learner in the forefront• Use time frameworks• Use consistent chunking strategies• Relate objectives and interactivity to chunks• Relate activities- assignments-assessments
(Gobet, 2005)
![Page 22: Making the Shift: From Classroom to Online Course Design: Session 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681644c550346895dd6189d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Activity Chunk a Lesson
Take 5 minutes Using your module that you drafted for Session 1, select one part that might be considered a lesson. Determine:
• What is focus of ‘lesson’ – objective? Topic? Question? Other?
• How much time is needed?• What resources are needed?• What activity, if any, will
learners or instructor perform?
• What media is needed?

STORYBOARDING
![Page 24: Making the Shift: From Classroom to Online Course Design: Session 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681644c550346895dd6189d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Why storyboard?
1. Plan the connection between course “chunks”
2. Troubleshoot gaps3. Check for even distribution of content4. Maps connections between different parts of
the course (e.g., tools, activities, assignments, events, etc.).

Why is layout critical?
Individual differences principle
Design effects are stronger for low-knowledge learners than for high-knowledge learners.
Design effects are stronger for high-spatial learners than for low-spatial learners.

Visual Organization & Cues• Segmenting principle:
People learn better when a multimedia lesson is presented in learner-paced segments rather than as a continuous unit.
• Application: Limit number of ‘screens’ so that learner can directly relate to topic or task at hand.
• Signaling principle: People learn better when the words include cues about the organization of the presentation.
• Application: Use headings, icons, or visual dividers to draw attention to key areas.

Visual Organization & Cues
• Coherence principle: People learn better when extraneous words, pictures, and sounds are excluded rather than included.
• Application: Keep it simple – images, sounds, text, color should direct and inform, not distract.
• Pre-training principle: People learn better from a multimedia lesson when they know the names and characteristics of the main concepts.
• Application: Provide read access to a glossary, pop-ups, FAQ, image database, references, etc.
