First Assignment:
What questions/comments do you have after reading the Spiro & Collins article, and looking at EaseHistory?
I feel that searching and using EaseHistory is an excellent example of the "Cognitive Flexibility Theory." The website affords the user with a "nonlinear and multi-perspectival organization of material." By using visual and auditory information bits, different peoples' learning styles are addressed.Viewing history through photos, video clips, and political cartoons allows our minds to integrate new information into our schema, process the information, and learn from the new perspectives the information offers.

The use of short clips (sometimes 7 seconds in length)is an example of how EASE History makes complexity more manageable. Watching a long video can overwhelm learners. Small, bite size chunks of complexity (images with case resources)are more manageable. But still complex, for they can be coded on multiple themes that are often interrelated.
