Would you like to create learning environments proven to result in faster learning, better learning, or both? Based on 25 years of research in cognitive load theory, you will learn how to apply 15 proven guidelines to make your training environments more efficient. In this session, you will update the well-known 'seven plus or minus two' concept by exploring the limitations of your working memory and showing how you can design, develop, and deliver instructional environments that best exploit working memory. The speakers will lead you on an interactive tour of your working memory that guides you through proven techniques for using visuals, audio, text, and examples to maximize learning efficiency. Learning Objectives - Calculate and graph lesson efficiency. Apply evidence-based guidelines to minimize the use of inefficient training methods. Apply evidence-based guidelines to maximize the use of efficient training methods.
