Limbic Learning

E-learning offers a new set of opportunities to support learning.

In practice meaningful learning is about application in new situations, and better problem solving. In terms of our brains, it's about the effective and efficient selecting, organising, and final integration of words and images as schemas into long term memory.

LIMBIC's Learning Architects design e-learning solutions to:

• eliminate pointless mental processing by minimising the thinking learners do about non-learning activities

• facilitate easy selection and organisation of material, and ensuring the quantity and complexity of material presented is offset by its familiarity

• focus on experiences that allow for deep mental processing, ensuring content design facilitates integration into long term working memory
