Coherence Principle #3

What is it?

What is the third coherence principle you may ask? Well it is basically the omitting of extra words within an e-learning course. With the omitting of these words that are irrelevant to the course you can help the learners focus more on what is important within the lesson. Within e-learning course the lessons should cut straight to the point and easy for the learners to understand the objectives of the classes and prevent the learners from becoming frustrated with the assignment. 

Example:

In the image below you can see an example of the third coherence principle. As you can see the image displays simplistic words for the learners to understand the concepts of the lesson.
