Considering cognitive overload, I sometimes get very concerned about the explanatory feedback I give to students. I wonder is this too much information and will their minds simply shut off? Corrective feedback and explanatory walk a fine line and I think they overlap. At the same time, explanatory feedback versus corrective has been shown to increase cognitive awareness by providing connections to the missed question or confusion about how to do a task (Moreno, 2004), at least in gaming situations. What are your thoughts with regards to cognitive overload?You bring up a good point. I think audiences that just need to know if they got something right or wrong may simple need corrective feedback. At the same time, some form of brief explanation as to why their response was incorrect is good as well. What do you think might be used in an online course or training that would identify those who needed explanatory as opposed to corrective feedback.
Also how could you tie this into pre-training?State the tool and whether it is collaborative, interactive, or both Describe it briefly making sure you identify how it can be used for collaboration or interactivity.Dropbox.com is a collaborative online tool.

Some teachers do get a bit chatty, and the result is cognitive overload. I just suffered though reading seminar notes that were about 200 pages too long! As a result, I barely remember what I read which is a classic case of cognitive overload. When an instructor provides too much information in feedback or too many things to do in one assignment (or back-to-back assignments), this often results in learners not being able to process and retain the information being presented. There is a point where too much information presented is too much for people to absorb. This only results in anxiety and stress as well as learners not performing academically to their potential. It is very important as instructors to carefully select the information that is being presented to learners (especially new information and explanatory feedback) so that they are not given too much to handle at one time. This assures that learners do not have too much to process all at once, and that they have time to retain what they are learning. If necessary, large chunks of information or feedback can be given in several emails or lessons. You bring up a good point. I think audiences that just need to know if they got something right or wrong may simple need corrective feedback. At the same time, some form of brief explanation as to why their response was incorrect is good as well. What do you think might be used in an online course or training that would identify those who needed explanatory as opposed to corrective feedback. Also how could you tie this into pre-training? I think that the best way to identify those who need explanatory as opposed to corrective feedback is through assessment. Giving a quiz for example to test the level of understanding that a student has will certainly show the instructor if he/she understands the information being presented. If the student did not perform well on the assessment, then he/she might benefit from explanatory feedback to further his/her understanding of the learning module. If a student performs well on the assessment, then corrective feedback may be all that is needed. This would also coincide nicely with pre-training because an assessment at the very beginning of a learning module would measure a students understanding of the concepts and whether or not he/she needs further explanation in order to understand better.

It is a great example of a collaborative tool because it allows users to upload and share information with others regardless of physical location. In fact, Dropbox will even translate information into most languages which I think is awesome! It is compatible with most hardware, so regardless of what a user is retrieving information on, he/she should have no problems accessing information through Dropbox. Another positive aspect is that it is free which makes collaboration even more accessible to all. This was a good example of an online tool that allows for collaboration between individuals and groups. Trendblog. (2012-2013). Fast facts.
