Efficiency in Learning:
Evidence-based Guidelines
to Manage Cognitive Load
2 Day ILT Workshop
Why take this course
The biggest expense in organizational training is the time participants spend away from work. Based on Ruth Clark's new book, coauthored with Frank Nguyen and John Sweller, this seminar will teach you how to create efficient learning environments that result in faster learning, better learning, or both. The techniques covered are based on over 25 years of experimental research on cognitive load theory. Cognitive load is the amount of mental effort imposed on working (or short term) memory by instruction.
You will learn how to
- Apply the most recent research on human learning processes in ways that minimize overload in working memory
- Develop training materials that minimize extraneous cognitive load through best use and display of visuals, text, and audio in workbooks, on slides, and in all forms of e-Learning
- Accelerate learning with worked examples
- Identify which differences among learners are most important to you
- Adjust your training for different levels of expertise
- Create adaptive instruction with rapid forms of testing
- Distinguish among three forms of cognitive load: extraneous, intrinsic, and germane and balance these for maximum efficiency
- Exploit working memory capacity with germane cognitive load
- Calculate and plot efficiency metrics for lessons
Who should attend
- Any instructional professional with at least 2 years experience in developing or delivering training
- Experienced instructional designers creating classroom, virtual classroom, or asynchronous e-Learning
- Any graduate of the CLARK ISD instructional design certification program
- Training managers or evaluators who would like to learn evidence-based methods to save time and get better learning results
