EMBEDDING TERMS, ACRONYMS, AND EVEN CONCEPTS, THAT ARE NOT EXPLAINE...

4. embedding terms, acronyms, and even concepts, that are not explained either in the visual or audio aids, or in the main body of the textual contents that refer to them. Non-textual contents should be included to make it easier for the e-learners to un-derstand things, and they should certainly not add to confusion or cause additional questions to arise that will go unanswered.

4 Engaging the Learners

Using technologies, the creators of e-learning contents can engage the e-learners. As we discussed in Section 3, non-textual contents, in the form of visual/audio contents or visual/audio aids, can stimulate and engage the e-learners. Beyond this, there are several ways to engage the e-learners, and thus help them learn and retain what they learn. Some require the use of technologies and some do not.
