This course introduces what we know about how people learn or the science of learning. Science-based principles are translated into tangible practices that can be applied in the design of learning content and experiences. Four primary asset types audio, video, simulation, and conversation are introduced in this course and plans are created for future design and development. A focus is placed on considering these assets within an array of learning experiences. In addition, the U-Behavior™ HI-OD learning and teaching method is introduced and used in the course as a concrete example of how HI-OD assets can be used to impact and reinforce productive learning behavior.
