Abstract
Increasingly, instructional designers are coming to appreciate that the different approaches to study adopted by learners require a more versatile approach to the construction of learning materials and pathways through them. If the development of study skills and long‐term learning is to be encouraged, responsibility for organising the concepts presented in materials should be placed as much as possible on the students, and materials should have sufficient depth to enable fruitful re‐interpretation on subsequent readings. Dr Elaine England, Senior Educational Technologist at the City Polytechnic of Hong Kong, explores these ideas here, illustrating them with examples from her own work.
