enhance learning.
2. Elaboration Theory:-
Elaboration theory is an instructional design theory that supports that content to be learned should
be organized from simple to complex order, by providing a meaningful context.
Elaboration Theory has the following values:
• It values a sequence of instruction that is as holistic, to improve meaning-making and motivation
• It allows learners to make many scope and sequence decisions on their own during the learning
process
• It is an approach that facilitates rapid prototyping in the instructional development process
• It integrates viable approaches to scope and sequence into a coherent design theory.
