This is where instructional designers come in
ven if an instructional designer can get an expert to explain a concept clearly, this sometimes has little effect on student understanding
students bring their own prior knowledge and misconceptions to educational media
ideo presents concepts in a clear, well-illustrated way, students believe they are learning, but they do not engage with the media on a deep enough level to realize that what has been presented differs from their own prior knowledge,
ou need a little friction in your educational media to actually modify the viewer’s understanding of the world and get the new understanding to stick
