this step the leaner is organizing the information. Prior knowledge is an important component during this step The designer should consider developing strategies such as advanced organizers or graphic organizers to aid the learner in translat ing the information. Analogies are helpful as are reflection strategies (Organizing 3. Related propositions in the leamer's memory are activated The infomation is stores and organized within the learner's mind. Leaning styles becomes an important element in determining how the learner stores the nformation (Organizing 4. Elaborations are generated by the learner as new connections stimulate the formation of inferences as a result of this linking new knowledge is constructed (Elaborating) Learning declarative knowledge is an interaction between the learner and the content. Consequently when a designer is planning a portion of the design that requires the learner to use and/or learn declarative knowledge the designer must consider both how the content is organized and presented and how the learner should apprehend, organize and elaborate on that content.
