Writing Online Instruction
Modularizing the Content

Divide the content of the course into manageable units.
Establish one “screenful” as the basic module of instruction.
Try to keep the student’s workload equal from screen to screen.

Kraft & Kraft

We Disagree

We think that Option B groups the concepts so that the amount of information and conceptual load will not be equal from screen to screen.
 

SCREEN 1
  • Importance of Forward Motion
SCREEN 2
  • Purpose of Wing Design
SCREEN 3
  • Air Pressure and Bernoulli’s Principle
  • How Lift Is Achieved

Screens 1 and 2 are light in content, while Screen 3 is very heavy in both the amount of information and the conceptual load.
