Episode Synopsis

What is cognitive load, and how does it affect student learning? Does video use increase or decrease the cognitive load on the part of the viewer? This week, Michael Carmichael of SAGE Publishing and Dr. Jeffrey Karpicke of Purdue University discuss the ways student behaviors and the environments in which they learn are shaping how they learn. They also discuss how presenting content through video may impact cognitive load. They also dive into the results of their experiment and what they demonstrate about graphics, cognitive load, and student engagement with video.
