15. Practice Principle 2 (Mirror the Job)

What Practice Principle 2 (Mirror the Job) Is

According to Clark and Mayer (2011), practice events in e-learning are interactions such as navigating, controlling, and dialoging similar to those found in a traditional classroom. (Clark & Mayer, 2011,  p. 251-257)

How the Example Shows (or Doesn't) Practice Principle 2 (Mirror the Job)

Not only does Lynda.com feature a complete library of high quality, engaging video tutorials, but also students have access to much more. They are able to follow along mirroring the instruction through e-learning with user files. The instructor provides actual files and details on how to set up the application (which they are teaching-in this instance Maya) to allow the student to immolate the lesson identically as shown in the video.
