This means that when we are exposed to too much information, we experience cognitive overload, which hinders our learning and retention. This is what cognitive overload feels like. In this blog, we will discover the importance of effective eLearning content development that prevents cognitive overload.

This is because LXD, to me, encompasses three things, all based on cognitive science. So here I’d like to make the case why I think that there’s a cognitive basis of LXD. Each one of those three things, then, has a cognitive underpinning. What creates positive affect? Design, too, was a subject of study.

Cognitive engagement. There are many ways to engage learners cognitively at a deeper level. Scenarios are one of the most potent learning tools available, but they’re also somewhat challenging to create. So, these are my ideas for improving cognitive engagement in your courses. So let’s talk about these first.

I’m deeply steeped in the cognitive sciences, owing to a Ph.D. in cognitive psych. Fortuitively, this was at the time my advisor was creating the cognitive science program (and more). So let me make the case that the cognitive perspective is more than just a useful one, but arguably a necessary one.

I have, in the past, talked about the three cognitions: situated , distributed , and social. I created the 3 x 3 matrix, and then tried to fill the boxes. So here’s some preliminary thoughts (ok, they’ve already been processed a few times) on considering cognitions by contexts. Stay tuned!

Context is key to creating successful eLearning experiences. In this article, I’ll shed light on the situated cognition theory, from its core principles to tips that will help you use it in your next eLearning course. Situated cognition is based on the idea that learning is most effective when it is in context.

Learner variability recognizes the uniqueness of each learner; not just in cognitive skills, but in social-emotional considerations, and student background factors. If you look at this scene with an understanding of learner variability, you’ll know that this is a design challenge, not a student problem. And design challenges can be solved.
