Just-in-Time Knowledge and User Interface Design for Effective Hybrid Learning

Abstract

The means for hybrid learning take on many forms. In this chapter, the author looks at learning facilitators that can be embedded within the user interface. He argues that these learning means can be even more effective than formal training. The author describe different features of the user interface that can provide just-in-time knowledge and fosters learning: immersing the student into a rich environment where he can readily have access to the information for the task at hand.
