Abstract

The article presents an analysis of some of the possibilities of traditional textbooks and e-learning resources. The possibilities of constructing de facto individual educational trajectories of students using traditional textbooks, which are currently absent in e-learning resources, are considered. Some shortcomings of e-learning resources are shown, related to the dominance of the video sequence in e-learning resources over other channels of influence on students and to the exaggeration of the role of interactivity of e-learning resources when they are used in the educational process. On the example of the Stroop test, the obligatory integration of various media, in particular the text and color design of e-learning resources, was noted. Attention is drawn to the effectiveness of the use of e-learning resources in various educational situations.

Many mistakes of developers of e-learning resources are based on insufficient interaction between developers and psychologists. The creators of e-learning resources often incorrectly interpret the results obtained by psychologists. The article provides relevant examples, including the use of the mythical number seven (the principle that a person can work simultaneously with no more than seven blocks of information). Developers do not always use in their activities the communicative postulates of G. P. Grice, as well as the theory of cognitive load, according to which the developed e-learning resources should not overload the student’s brain. In psychology, the cognitive resource is more associated with aspects of human information processing. In the article, the concept of “cognitive resource” extends to resources “external” in relation to a person, including e-learning resources. The degree of cognition of the resource characterizes the ease of transferring to the student the information necessary for the educational process and the perception of this information by him.

Attention is drawn to the need to use modern usability principles when building “transparent” interfaces of e-learning resources. As a result of the analysis of modern e-learning resources, recommendations are proposed for developers of e-learning resources on the creation of cognitive presentational electronic resources to increase their effectiveness.
