What have you learned from this module and how do you intend to apply it?
It is important to share with learners they will have to exercise a significant amount of mental effort while learning. I did not know how this impacts retention levels, or that here is a positive correlation based on the amount of mental effort experienced by students. I want students to know the importance and how meaningful online learning is.
This motivates me to want to share more challenging examples and scenarios so students can connect to the topic areas addressed in the course. I have learned first hand how learning outcomes are higher when learners are actively engaged in the learning process. Any student can share an opinion, but when asked to find information to support that opinion, they learn opinions are often not supported and need data, facts and sound, proven evidence.
