Meaningfulness results in e-learners who will continue use original cognitive structures and not see the new information that is trying to be conveyed. E-learning must cater to its learners by providing information in different ways, so that learners will be able to see the differences in the facilitated materials and create new cognitive structures resulting in the successful acquisition of knowledge.\

 Advanced Organisers can be in the form of ‘adventure’ style activities where learners are expected to complete certain tasks and acquire certain skills before they can move on to other steps. This sequential learning acts as an advanced organiser as it ensures that the information and knowledge is built onto old cognitive structures.

Generalizing in an E-learning context results in a variety of miscommunications as information is mis-interpreted or completely missed by people who do not have the same reaction or stigmas attached to stimuli. Since E-learning is an experiential learning platform, it relys on the use of stimuli to encourage learners to create associations with learning materials. Generalization in this sense could result in the acquisition of incorrect material and as a result wrong information in terms of what they are meant to learn.

Learning is the process of acquiring information that is being transmitted from a facilitator to the learner. It doesn’t matter what a student is being taught or told unless it is accepted and acquired, this highlights the most important aspect of learning and its process. It’s success is dependant on the delivery by the educator as well as the attitude of the recipient.
