Have clear learning goals for each lesson
Develop a replicable wayfinding system to create predictable patterns, allowing students to navigate the online spaces with ease and on their own.
Provide detailed instructions and expectations. Students need clarity on three important points:
1. What they need to know
2. Why they need to know it
3. How can they apply this knowledge
When students understand the purpose of what they are doing, they are more likely to drive their own learning
Three basic concepts underlie effective wayfinding in online learning: student agency, cognitive load, and curation.
