Setting up rigid and realistic goals based on the learner's competence, therefore, is more effective than setting easy goals.

Performance goal: I want to avoid mistakes so I can get a good grade.

Mastery goal: Understanding the class materials is more important than earning a high grade, and that's why I work hard to learn. My performance is better than it was at the beginning of the semester.

What’s interesting is that the methods, i.e., substituting real-world items in the student’s immediate environment when that’s possible and creating online simulations when it’s not, marry so well together in an e-learning environment as strategies for dealing with what is fundamentally an environment of low situational control for instructional designers.

Incentives motivate learning

Internal motivation is longer lasting

Learning is most effective when an individual is ready to learn

or many centuries, education has been focused on the learning of course content, but the learning styles of the students have been ignored .

The standards assume that being literate means being digitally literate.

My goal for this column is to highlight strong examples of digital literacies instruction and technology integration that teachers can remix and customize for their students and teaching contexts

“One of the biggest communication changes happening today is the shift from the printed word on a page to multiple modes of image, sound, movement, and text on a screen.”

Online learning is just as intensive as learning face-to-face, and time to do the work needs to be scheduled and planned for, just as if one were attending face-to-face classes. Being clear as to how much effort and time will be required on a weekly basis keeps surprises to a minimum.

importance of understanding misconceptions as a first step toward addressing them in instructional settings

particularly if this new information does not fit their established pattern of thinking.

confront their beliefs

Information that conflicts sharply with what is already held to be true, and thus forces a re-evaluation of the old material, is integrated more slowly.

Adults prefer self-directed and self-designed learning projects over group-learning experience

Self-direction does not mean isolation. Studies of self-directed learning indicate that self-directed projects involve an average of 10 other people as resources, guides, encouragers and the like. But even for the self-professed, self-directed learner, lectures and short seminars get positive ratings, especially when these events give the learner face-to-face, one-to-one access to an expert.
