John Dewey wrote extensively about philosophy, psychology, education, political science, and the arts. In his very full 92 years of life. His theory of education explains the learner must use prior knowledge to explain new concepts being taught. Information is grasp through connection to old experiences. This theory is connected to online learning because most students are visual learners online learners use pictures and sound/ music to relay common concepts. This theory is connected to many other theories in online learning for example Cognitive load theory (Sweller, Ayres, & Kalyuga, 2011) which also explains students use past experiences to store new ideas in their long term memory.
