The single quote that stood out for me in this week's reading was by Clark and Mayer (2008) "instructional pros leverage both channels (visual and auditory) in ways that enable learners to make sense out of material." The overall thesis this week was finding the right balance between graphics and text. Often less is more. By reducing extraneous overload learning can be more efficient and more effective.
How would I convey this thesis?
First, teaching by example, this includes designing instruction based on the concepts we are learning such as contiguity.
Second, by basing instructional design on evidence based research.
Third, share research with co workers that supports the instructional design
Fourth, conduct research to further establish an evidenced based practice.
