Articles:Enhancing Instructional Efficiency of Interactive E-learning Environments: A Cognitive Load Perspective

From unthinkMedia

Interactive Learning Environments

  • respond dynamically to learner actions
  • associated with active, learner-engaged processing of learning materials
  • promotes deep cognitive processes
  • active construction of new knowledge

With a sufficiently high level of motivation, students can eventually learn from any, even primitive or poorly designed, learning environments.

important that the cognitive load approach considers learning and instruction in terms of efficiency rather than mere effectiveness, that is, in terms of cognitive cost of achieving instructional effects.
