Most microlearning initiatives underperform because they're designed without considering the cognitive processes involved in different learning outcomes. This session explores how cognitive load theory directly impacts the design of knowledge-based, skill-based, and performance-based microlearning. You'll discover practical approaches for managing cognitive load across different types of microlearning and leave with a framework for making evidence-based design decisions that enhance learning effectiveness.
In this session, you will::
Explain how the three types of cognitive load (intrinsic, extraneous, and germane) impact microlearning design and effectiveness.
Differentiate between knowledge-based, skill-based, and performance-based microlearning outcomes and the specific cognitive demands of each.
Apply cognitive load principles to design more effective microlearning experiences based on intended learning outcomes.
