"Of the many eLearning theories that influence the practice, three of them are used by professionals on a daily basis...Practice and theory actually goes hand in hand. This is true not only in instructional design but in any other field or discipline. Theory, far from crippling your practice, will actually help you improve the quality of your eLearning material. While a learning theory won't answer all of your design problems, it offers clarity throughout your process and directs you toward finding solutions."

Learn more about three learning theories of instructional design in this post:
* Constructivism
* Cognitivism
* Behaviorism
Why? Each theory looks at "HOW" students learn. Understanding the theories helps you design activities that will help learners move forward in their learning process.
The infographic provides a definition for each of the theories and then provides ideas on what each theory helps the learner practice.
As with most infographics from SHIFT's eLearning Blog, this post also provides additional information on each of the three theories as well as links to additional resources.
Explore this post to better understand why these theories are important to all teachers, in online learning, blended learning and face2face situation.
