Description

The article enumerates the prominent aspects participants agreed influenced their learning and motivation: interactivity allowing learners to "manipulate the representation, so that learners were in complete control of the speed, orientation, and time"; examples, non-examples, frequently asked questions, practice and feedback, and end-of-course quizzes; multimedia presentations (animation, graphics, photographs, narrative, videos); content relevant to learners' lives and work; simulated real-world activities; appropriately difficult content; hands-on activities; performance feedback; pages easy to navigate with linear and nonlinear layouts; and overall learning-experience satisfaction.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• Content must be relevant to learners' lives and work and provide enough feedback on performance

Constraints

• The pattern was evaluated only in a single CME topic (Acute Respiratory Failure) at one Iranian university

Target Learners

• general physicians and assistants in CME

Learning Goals

• clinical learning and motivation in self-paced e-learning

Claims

• Ecme Motivation Higher Than Lecture [+M]
• Multimedia treatment, prior science level, and unit pre-test level each independently influence electricity achievement, with no significant two-way or three-way interactions [+W]

Related Designs

• Experiment Protocol.swf: a Flash-based multimedia program that administered the animation experiment and recorded participant responses
