Job Aids & Performance Support
“A job aid is a repository for information, processes, or perspectives that is external to the individual and that supports work and activity by directing, guiding, and enlightening performance.”
—Rossett and Gautier-Downes, A Handbook of Job Aids, p. 45.
Principles
Multimedia: Use words and graphics rather than words alone
Contiguity: Align words to corresponding graphics
Modality: Present words as audio narration
Redundancy: Explain visuals with words in audio or text, not both
Principles (cont.)
Coherence: Add extra material can hurt learning
Personalization: Use conversational style and virtual coaches
Segmenting and Pre-training: Break a lesson into parts
What is collaborative learning?
• Assignments for teams of 2 or more individuals in service of a learning goal. What examples can you give for: Collaborative learning Competitive learning Individual learning
Criteria for successful collaboration
www.Clarktraining.com
Criteria DescriptionSocial Interdependence The goal of each team member depends
on the achievement of all other team members
Outcome Goals The desired results of are appropriate for collaboration
Dialog Quality All team members make substantive contributions.
What is CSCL? • Engagements among teams of 2 – 5 members using synchronous and/or asynchronous tools in order to support an instructional goal.
Produce a product Resolve a case problem Analyze a video example Solve problems
Factors affecting CSCL outcomes
Outcomes: Individual VS group learning Group composition: Size & make up Technology: Synchronous – asynchronous Task assignment: Well structured – ill structured Group roles and instructions Time for collaboration Team skills training Incentives

What is a simulation ?
• A rule-based environment with goals
• Responsive to learner actions
• Challenging
• Cumulative so the current state
• reflects previous actions and
• show progress toward goals
• Game Database
