KNOWLEDGE NUGGETS INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN V2.0 AND TESTING STRATEGY

Abstract

"Currently, the education sector is undergoing profound changes and, in parallel, making digital teaching formats essential. One of these upcoming formats is the so-called ""Knowledge Nugget"". Knowledge Nuggets are digital learning materials that are designed for self-directed learning. They are organized within small, defined topics and vary depending on their scopes and sizes. Differentiation goes along with the way learning material is prepared and conveyed but does not provide information about the amount of content or the shared knowledge's difficulty. Based on a paper at END2021, the next step sheds light on general design aspects to reduce the extrinsic cognitive load during learning. Hence, it is necessary to which kind of Knowledge Nuggets has been prepared and how the different nuggets are structured. How the information is prepared must be taken into account not to harm the students in their learning process. This paper aims to further develop the previous form of instructional design, adding general design factors and providing a well-planned testing strategy to verify the explained model."
