Dervin:
* sense-making can be defined as making sense of what people do in their everyday experiences
* discontinuity is the fundamental aspect of reality
* sense-making focuses on behavior
* perceptual filters determine how you see people/things based on your values/beliefs
​* the "gap" is the moment where an individual focuses on  a method to cross the "bridge" or barrier
* external conditions(i.e. economic class, income and education) minimize creating new responses
* there have been more than 40 different sense-making studies to date
Baggio:
* the brain works in patterns
* learning has 3 influences:
     1. prior knowledge- NAP(neuro-associative pathways are familiar roads in the brain) 
     2. context-provides relevance/significance/importance
​     3. expectations-what we imagine to be true or likely to happen
* about 85% of people are visual learners
* visual design must not overshadow the context
Clark:
* employees are ineffectively trained for workforce causing loss of productivity
* ISD-( Instructional Systems Design) training that produces learning outcomes
* four ingredients of instruction:
     1. information
     2. performance outcome
     3. instructional methods
     4. instructional media
* in 1998 60 billion was spent on training
* structured lessons have four major sections:
     1. introduction
     2. knowledge needed
     3. major task of lesson
     4. summary

Alexis,

I also noted the information about prior knowledge and how that helps to understand new knowledge by using the same pathways the brain has already used. I remember watching the video about the brain last semester, which was one of my favorite videos we have watched to date because it was so understandable and it made me really understand the way the brain works to learn things well by using the same pathways. I knew that using prior knowledge was important but I didn't know why.

Very good job of abstracting the focal points of the readings this week. I struggled to grasp all the information form the reading just from being overwhelmed by the content. But I feel that I got a lot of information form the reading maybe not all of it. I will hope to continue to get information from this reading as I continue to review them.

Alexis,

I found the reading assignments to be challenging. You captured several key concepts and aspects of the reading, which helped me to make connections. I wonder if if there are other resources that align with the three authors.

Regards,

Lisa Marie
