The course is designed to provide various theories of learning, cognition, and instruction to traditional and distance learning settings. These theories are tools that educators, administrators, instructors, counselors, parents and many others can use to make their endeavors more productive and useful. The emphasis was the use of these theories to important connections between cognitive theory and the real application of helping learners move new material into their long term memory in order to retain knowledge.
