A List of Brain-based Strategies to Create Effective eLearning

Creating brain-based eLearning courses is actually relatively easy, especially when following the acronym B.R.A.I.N. B.A.S.E.D.
Beth Dichter's insight:

Perhaps with school starting up again, I am more aware of the number of posts that look at metacognition, and how our brains learn. This post from SH!FT provides the acronym B.R.A.I.N. B.A.S.E.D to help you remember key components of designing a course. Although the post is designed for eLearning the same concepts are also important in a face-2-face environment.

Let's look at the B in brain. It stands for the "brain's time clock." How long can students engage in active learning vs. passive learning? How long can a student online stay engaged (or a student in your classroom)? For each letter there is an explanation and in most cases links to additional resources.

Important things to think about whether designing an online or a face-to-face course.

It is easy to stumble on clues about how the mind works. Many people notice, for instance, that a good way to learn about a topic is to teach it to someone else. When a person teaches a concept to others, he or she is likely to remember that material for the long term. Long-term retention is much less likely for those in the role of a traditional learner who is listening to a teacher talk.

Fortunately, recent advances in brain science mean that we no longer must stumble on insights such as this by trial and error.
