Welcome to T.A. Training

My name is Tasha Andrews…I am a 3rd

year graduate teaching assistant here at FSU. Today we’re going to

learn about the Coherence Principle for

effective e-learning.

Page 7: Scenario & Challenge: You are a graduate teaching assistant at FSU anxiously awaiting the big game on Saturday Before you can pick up your tickets to

The Problem

When we create multimedia

presentations, we want to use glitz and games to make the learning experience

more engaging for the students.

The Coherence Principle

Rule #1Using gratuitous visuals, text and sounds can hurt

learning

Page 9: Scenario & Challenge: You are a graduate teaching assistant at FSU anxiously awaiting the big game on Saturday Before you can pick up your tickets to

What We Tend To Use

• Dramatic video or text (to add interest)

• Background music (to add appeal)

• Popular movie characters or themes (to add entertainment value)

The Coherence Principle

Rule #2Details related to the instruction that are

extraneous in nature depress learning

(seductive details)

Page 11: Scenario & Challenge: You are a graduate teaching assistant at FSU anxiously awaiting the big game on Saturday Before you can pick up your tickets to

How Seductive Details Affect Learners

• Distract learners from key instructional points

• Disrupt learners’ organization of information

• Activate irrelevant prior knowledge

Congratulations!

You’ve just completed the mandatory

Welcome to the FSU Bookstore!

Hi there, I’m the bookstore manager, Beatrice Sanchez. I

see you have Professor Woods’ textbook order for

next semester.

Page 16: Scenario & Challenge: You are a graduate teaching assistant at FSU anxiously awaiting the big game on Saturday Before you can pick up your tickets to

Welcome to the FSU Bookstore!

By the way…Professor Woods mentioned

that you are great at creating multimedia

presentations. Would you mind if I asked

you a question?

Welcome to the FSU Bookstore!

I’m making a training podcast for my new

employees here at the bookstore, and I don’t want it to be boring. Should I add some background music

during the instruction to keep them interested?

YES NO

Page 20: Scenario & Challenge: You are a graduate teaching assistant at FSU anxiously awaiting the big game on Saturday Before you can pick up your tickets to

CORRECTSo what you’re saying is that using music during

instruction can negatively affect learning. Oh wow, I’ve never heard of the

Coherence Principle, but I can see your point.

Thanks for the advice, and see you next semester!

Welcome to Strozier Library!

Hi there, I’m the circulation supervisor,

Sheree Landers. Professor Woods has had those books for quite a while now.

You must be here to return them.

Page 24: Scenario & Challenge: You are a graduate teaching assistant at FSU anxiously awaiting the big game on Saturday Before you can pick up your tickets to

Welcome to Strozier Library!

Hey…since you know Professor Woods so well, maybe you can help me

with something. He asked me to pull some movies to

show in the Physics for Non-Majors class that

illustrate the principles of aerodynamics.

Welcome to Strozier Library!

I found this one from the Discovery Channel called History of Flight, but I think the students would much rather see Top Gun. It has some

great aerial shots in it! Which would you

choose? History of Flight Top Gun

Page 28: Scenario & Challenge: You are a graduate teaching assistant at FSU anxiously awaiting the big game on Saturday Before you can pick up your tickets to

CORRECTYeah, you’re right. I never thought that

seductive details would depress learning, but it

makes sense that details like those

activate irrelevant prior knowledge. Well, I

guess I’ll see you when you return this movie.

Welcome to Westcott

Hello, I’m Wendy Barnes, executive

assistant to the Dean of Graduate Studies. You’re dropping off some paperwork for

your professor?

Page 32: Scenario & Challenge: You are a graduate teaching assistant at FSU anxiously awaiting the big game on Saturday Before you can pick up your tickets to

Welcome to Westcott

Now I know all of the graduate teaching

assistants have mandatory training on this stuff, so let me ask

you a question. The dean asked me to create a

video for a webinar on how to increase graduate

student enrollment.

Page 33: Scenario & Challenge: You are a graduate teaching assistant at FSU anxiously awaiting the big game on Saturday Before you can pick up your tickets to

Welcome to Westcott

I want to add images of graduate students at

football games, working out at the

Leach…basically images of them having fun! The dean said it isn’t

relevant and to keep it simple. Who is right?

Page 36: Scenario & Challenge: You are a graduate teaching assistant at FSU anxiously awaiting the big game on Saturday Before you can pick up your tickets to

CORRECTWell, I suppose the

dean is right. Images of graduate students

having fun might sound like a good idea, but

they are distracting and really have nothing to do with enrollment.

Thanks for getting this paperwork to me!

Welcome to the Testing Center

Hey there, I’m Tressa. Were you at the

mandatory training this morning? I thought I

saw you there. I’m a TA in the biology

department, but I work here part-time too.

You’re here to pick up some exams?

Page 40: Scenario & Challenge: You are a graduate teaching assistant at FSU anxiously awaiting the big game on Saturday Before you can pick up your tickets to

Welcome to the Testing Center

So check this out…as soon as we got out of

that training, my professor calls my cell

phone and wants me to whip up a PowerPoint for her evening lecture

tonight.

Welcome to the Testing Center

I was listening to my iPod this morning at

the training, so I didn’t hear anything that

other TA said. I say use all the bells and

whistles because most of the students fall

asleep in class. What do you think?

sounds would negatively affect

learning. Thanks for the tip…see you at the game on Saturday.
