Urban Myths about learning technology and technological artefacts • New technology is causing a revolution in education • Internet belongs in the classroom because it is part of the
personal world experience of children • Today’s digital natives are a new generation who want a new
style of education • The internet makes us dumber • Young people don’t read anymore • You learn nothing from games other than violence • You can help poor children to learn just by giving them access
to computers De Bruyckere, P., Kirschner, P. A., & Hulshof, C. D. (2015). Urban Myths about Learning and Education. Academic Press.

Urban myths about multimedia learning
• Multimedia (MM) material produces more learning • MM instruction is more motivating • MM instruction provides animated pedagogical agents that
aid learning • MM instruction accommodates different learning styles and
so maximizes learning for more students • MM instruction facilitates student-managed constructivist and
discovery approaches that are beneficial to learning

Urban myths about multimedia learning
• MM instruction provides students with autonomy and control over the sequencing of instruction
• MM instruction allows students the opportunity to practice critical and higher-order thinking
• MM instruction encourages incidental learning of enriched information
• MM instruction promotes interactivity • MM instruction permits students to experience an authentic
learning environments and activities

Multimedia learning and instructional design theory
• How do you align instruction to the human cognitive architecture? – Sweller’s Cognitive Load Theory

Intrinsic load Extraneous or irrelevant load Germane or relevant load
Multimedia learning and instructional design theory
• How do you stimulate learning and self-
regulated learning in multimedia environments? – Van Merriënboer’s Four Component Instructional
Design Model
• Schema construction:
– Induction (learning tasks) – Elaboration (supportive information)
• Schema automation: – Knowledge compilation (procedural information) – Strenghtening (part-task practice)

Winterkoning
De winterkoning is een kleine vogel die vooral wordt gekenmerkt door de rechtopstaande houding van de staart. Het verenkleed is roodbruin en voorzien van talrijke donkere dwarsstreepjes. De zang van de winterkoning bestaat uit een reeks schetterende klanken met een triller en een hoge toon op het eind. De zang is erg luid en het gehele jaar te horen. De vogel bevindt zich meestal laag in het struikgewas of onder andere beschutting en is vrijwel voortdurend in beweging.
