Nine Ways to Reduce Cognitive Load in Multimedia Learning
http://www.uky.edu/~gmswan3/544/9_ways_to_reduce_CL.pdf
Present information in
learner-controlled segments rather
than as a continuous presentation.
In segmenting, the presentation is
broken into bite-size segments.
Examples ofCognitive Load Reduction
Provide cues to the learner about how
to select and organize the material.
Add signals on how to process
the material to reduce
processing of extraneous
material.
Add numbers to represent steps.
Material is too long and complex
Sometimes, instructors produce notes or guidelines that can be overwhelming for students.
A potential problem is that the processing demands evoked by the learning task may exceed the
processing capacity of the cognitive system - a situation we call cognitive overload.
(Mayer and Moreno, 2003)
Problem Solution
"Unit 1, Part 1."
Highlight or announce titles and
subtitles, using font, size and
color, or voice tone.
Allow some time between
segments of the presentation.
Use visual representation:
arrows,
tables,
charts, and
graphics
Split text and/or audio into
smaller chunks.
Number sections if there is a
sequential order.
Use bulleted lists otherwise.
