Note the use of text cues at the top of Yahoo and About. When complex concepts are encountered or when students possess naive mental models and limited prerequisite understanding, conceptual scaffolding can prompt learners to consider important facets of an idea. IAWM provides site objectives. Utilize a wide variety of links on your site to expose learners to elaborative information, related information, or contrasting perspectives. For example, the Idea Channel provides links to different expert perspectives on a number of subject-specific issues.
Illustrative information provides examples of concepts in audio, visual, or animated form.
