Description¶

For the learning-task component, the chapter recommends having students work on learning tasks in simulated task environments. The abstract states: "Students may work on learning tasks in simulated task environments, where relevant multimedia principles primarily facilitate a process of inductive learning." Multimedia design choices in these environments should therefore be selected for their support of inductive learning from the tasks themselves.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• A simulated task environment in which learners can work on whole learning tasks

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• Learners acquiring complex cognitive skills

Target Learning Goals¶

• Inductive learning of schemas and strategies from whole tasks

Related Strategies¶

• Virtual Reality Immersive Training
• Simulation Based Training
