The “Example” text is the comparative information related to OST, but not a part of the learning scope. It is “nice-to-know” information and separated from “need-to-know” information. The pop-up content does not include examples and it is not tested. It is presented in paragraphs or tables and visuals are preferably not used.
The “Example” information can be categorized into three types:
Simple
Embedded
Mixed
Simple Example

Simple example is the comparative information related to OST, but not part of learning scope. It is delimited by the instructional objective.

The example demonstrates how to correctly select the comparative information related to the content and write it as simple example.
Input
Input
Formative evaluation is conducted at several points during the development of course to improve the course. Formative evaluation provides feedback about whether the course achieved its objectives. The instruments used for formative evaluation are self-checks, progress tests, non-graded quizzes and so on.
The formative evaluation can be compared with a factory that builds aircraft. First, a prototype of aircraft is build and tested. Then, construction of aircraft is regularly monitored to check whether everything matches the standards set earlier.

In this example, the OST describes the formative evaluation in CBT course design. The given “Example” information is out of the learning scope, is “nice-to-know”, and is comparative information related to OST, hence termed as “Simple Example”.

Embedded Example
Embedded Example
Embedded example is the comparative information related to OST, but not part of learning scope. It is delimited by the instructional objective. It is the extra content that is cleaved out from the middle of the mainline content.
Example
Example
The following example demonstrates how to correctly select the comparative information related to the content and write it as embedded example.
Input
Input
Ernest Rutherford published his atomic theory describing the atom as having a central positive nucleus surrounded by negative orbiting electrons. This model suggested that most of the mass of the atom is contained in the small nucleus, and that the rest of the atom is mostly empty space. This theory is called the planetary model. According to this theory, the electrons revolve around the nucleus the same way as the planets around the sun. Rutherford came to this conclusion following the results of his famous gold foil experiment. This experiment involved the firing of radioactive particles through minutely thin metal foils (notably gold) and detecting those using screens coated with zinc sulfide (scintillator). Rutherford found that although the vast majority of particles passed straight through the foil approximately 1 in 8000 were deflected leading him to his theory that most of the atom was made up of 'empty space'.

In this example, the “Example” is comparative information that is not a part of the learning scope, as delimited by the instructional objective. The content included as “Example” does not expect learner to gain information on the “Ernest Rutherford’s atomic model”, which is the learning objective. The additional content embedded has been cleaved out from the middle of the mainline content.

Mixed Example
Mixed Example
Mixed example is the comparative information related to OST, but not part of learning scope. It is delimited by the instructional objective. It is the extra content that is mixed with other extra content such as “notes” and is cleaved out from the middle of the mainline content.
Example
Example
The following example demonstrates how to correctly select the comparative information related to the content and write it as mixed example. The learning objective for this content chunk is: “State the Archimedes principle.”
Input
Input
Archimedes' principle states that a body immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. The fluid most often encountered in applications of Archimedes' principle is water, and the specific gravity which is the ratio of the weight of a given volume of a substance to the weight of an equal volume of some reference substance, is a convenient measure of its relative density compared to water. In calculating the buoyant force on a body, however, one must also take into account the shape and position of the body. A steel rowboat placed on end into the water will sink because the density of steel is much greater than that of water. However, in its normal, keel-down position, the effective volume of the boat includes all the air inside it, so that its average density is then less than that of water, and as a result it will float.

In this example, the extra information, “Example” is comparative information related to OST, but not part of the learning scope, as delimited by the instructional objective. The special information (that is, “In calculating … the shape and position of the body.”) would be layered as “Note”.
