3. E-Learning is the delivery of a learning, training or education programme by electronic means (Stockley, 2003)

4. E-Learning Activity - Session 1
Children must link the correct Capital City to the correct area on the map
Time limit – 60 seconds
This is my first E – learning activity that I will be creating. The aim of this activity is to give children the chance to learn more about capital cities across Europe. This will be created using 2 DIY/ 2simple online. Children will be presented with a map of Europe, and a list of cities. They will have to drag the name of the cities onto the correct part of the map in order to get 1 point. This will be over a 60 second period and the more points scored in this time period the better. There is evidence to suggest educational games have a positive effect on learning, children learn informally as they’re having fun at the same time, and are more likely to remember what they have learnt (Backland et al 2013). During this activity children may share their scores with one another and work collaboratively if they wish. This links to Vygotsky’s constructivism (1978) as he stresses the importance of social context within the learning process and believes learning is a collaborative activity.

5. E-Learning Activity – Session 2
The final session will involve a quiz created using Kahoot
This will test the children’s knowledge on what they have learnt
An Advantage of E-learning systems is their ability to track learner activities and monitor results (Welsh et al, 2003)
The second activity will test their knowledge on what they have learnt so far. The questions will be related to the previous activity, and will revolve around capital cities in Europe. This type of e learning activity is very beneficial as we have the ability to track learner activities and monitor results to see how they are progressing (Welsh et al, 2003).

6. Why choose these activities?
Optimum learning occurs when the load on the working memory is kept to a minimum
Cognitive load theory – optimum learning occurs when the load on the working memory is kept to a minimum to facilitate changes in the long term memory – The three cognitive loads are defined as Extraneous processing, Essential processing and Generative processing (Clark and Mayer, 2016) – The activities I created do not overload working memory and therefore improve the learners experience.

7. Multimedia Principles Used Within This Presentation
Coherence Principle – Extraneous words excluded
Signalling Principle – Used an outline to signpost the presentation
Multimedia Principle – People learn better from pictures and words
Personalisation Principle – Conversational style rather than formal
Voice Principle – Friendly human voice rather than a machine
Discuss how I incorporated these principles into presentation, and how they worked effectively
