Learning Theory
Picture - learn by Mark Brennan.
Why are we looking at learning theory? The original concept of this Instructional Design (ID) learning module was to create an Assistive Technology Mobile Apps resource website. The internet had many websites that reviews all kinds of mobile apps. As Educational Technology (ETEC) students we study things in terms of education and the educational affordances these applications provide. So the following is a review of two major learning theories ETEC students encounter, Bloom's Taxonomy, and Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction.
When reviewing the applications later in this module, you should see them in the context of these learning theories. In terms of being an ETEC student and future ETEC professional these concepts should help you as an educator utilizing these applications in the K-12 classroom, or as an Technology Coordinator supporting the educational goals of your school. The next few pages will cover both of these learning theories.
