Comment on More from Mayer – The Coherence Principle by erin

Thanks for the summary Michelle. This will come in very handy in Scott’s class. Although, I haven’t found Mayer’s book to be that helpful the last chapter we read on the Redunancy Principle was surprising to me – one would think showing the text of the narration would be helpful. However, Mayer’s explanation did make sense.

Thanks again,
erin

Your my new cliff notes, thanks. I already did my assignment but this is nice to help me critique my classmates work.

Thanks for the summary. Mayer did say that research shows that students actually retain and transfer more information from reading summaries than when they read entire chapters. I was thinking earlier today that I needed to get some of the high points in writing – now I don’t have to! Thanks!

Thanks for extracting these coherence principles. It’s always helpful to see the information in an outline.

Wow, this suggests that all of us have reached the contributor stage, just by creating our own blogs – you’ve made my day, Michelle!

I think Erin has pointed out a fundamental flaw in the blog concept – maybe blog designers will start looking for a way to enhance the commenting function to better enable conversations, or perhaps come up with an entirely new idea.

Thanks for the article. I feel that since I am still a beginner I’m pretty low in the rankings, but slowly getting better. I was just reading Erin’s comment and I would agree with her, in that blogs don’t really stimulate conversation, but rather a place to share thoughts/feelings. Regardless, it was an interesting article!
