Goal - Faculty will understand the concept of cognitive load and how it relates to student's learning
Objectives:
After completing this module learners will have an understanding of the principles of cognitive load and will be able to identify, with 90% accuracy, via an online quiz, the concepts of germane, intrinsic, and extraneous load.
Using their course as an example the learner will identify at least two ways increased cognitive load is hindering student's learning
Goal - Faculty will identify specific examples of cognitive load in their classroom
Objectives:
The learner will identify two areas of their course where extraneous load occurs.
The leaner will identify two areas of their course where germane load occurs.
The leaner will identify two areas of their course where intrinsic load occurs
Goal - Faculty will understand the relationship between decreased cognitive load and increased learning
Objectives:
The learner will discuss 3 design principles of how reducing cognitive load improves learning.
The learner will redesign two slides reflecting the use of cognitive load reducing design principles
Goal - Faculty will review their slides and discuss if they are using any of the above methods
Objectives:
The learner will critique their presentation and identify at least 2 slides that they can alter to reduce cognitive load.
The leaner will revise the above identified slides
Goal - Faculty will review their presentation and make appropriate changes to their lecture.
Objectives:
After reviewing the 11 principles of Richard Mayer's Multi-Media learning theory the learner will with 100% accuracy identify each principle on a a matching quiz
The leaner will revise 5 of their slides using the above principles
