The work of John Sweller and Nillie Lavie on Cognitive Load Theory and Capacity Theory (based on studies by Shalom Fisch ) is useful to help us understand how to optimise digital design environments such as the layout of virtual learning environments or online discussion groups. This is but a brief and superficial look at these theories.

The fire hydrant of ideas is too much for the human brain to handle, so you need to distribute your cognition. Alternatively you could take photos, draw pictures, produce mind maps, or record videos. You might want to go old-school by jotting your notes down on paper, or type them into a mobile device.

You may also use it to capture data: a note, a photo or video, or a voice memo. It is useful to view computation conceptually as a complement to our cognitive systems. Over our history, we have developed many physical and cognitive tools to augment our capabilities. Think: how does your mobile device make you smarter?

Colors provoke strong emotional and psychological responses in people, so it’s important to get the balance (as well as the color palette) right to prevent cognitive overload. People have better recall of visual content than text (see the picture superiority effect ). Use graphics to support your learning. Then, do your reading.

Course design should be based on a cognitive theory of how people learn and draw on scientifically valid research findings. Knowledge-construction draws on the work of Piaget who contends that humans are not passive recipients of information, but seek to generate knowledge by actively engaging in cognitive processing.

Visuals , like graphs, diagrams, charts, and photos, assist with explaining content, whereas videos allow for auditory learning. For instance, a picture just for the visual stimulation is useless — it will only distract learners away from the message. The highest cognitive level is the reflective level or conscious reasoning.

Animation is unique because it reduces the cognitive load on your brain. Video and photo images can definitely help spice up lackluster learning, but they have their limitations. In demonstrating a new process, animation helps tell your brain what’s important and which key things to remember. Animation improves learner attitude.
