The most effective way to maximize student learning and retention and further application is to break materials down into elements, what this module called "bite-sized chunks." Students are better able to process and understand the materials then use apply them to real-world applications both inside and outside the classroom.
Is there a more effective means of managing materials or learning materials?
Breaking down materials into elements lends itself well to all of the basic learner methods: literary, visual, tactile, etc.
