After reviewing the resources for my graduate course this past week, we have been going more in detail into learning theories and the different ways that the brain processes new and existing information. Here are two articles that I found very interesting and relevant to this weeks topics of discussion.


The Information Processing Approach to Cognition


One of the major points of discussion this week is how information is processed in the brain. This review analizes the different stage models of information processing while also chacterizing the different forms of memory. I thought this would definitely be a good contribution for all of my peers as well to review.

LEARNING about E-LEARNING--Rob Hubbard

After reading this article, this is another great tool for an inspiring or current instructional designer. He also tends to provide some pros and cons to learning theories.Hubbard examines the way that the brain works by chacterizing John Medina's book Brain Rules. These 12 rules are related to e-learning as well as training within an organization or company. I hope this information is as useful for you as it has been for me.
