en-US This fully online workshop shows how research on multimedia learning and cognitive load can help faculty design clearer, more effective online course materials. Faculty will explore practical strategies to reduce repetition, weak signaling, and navigational complexity so students can focus on learning.

In this workshop, you'll learn to: 

  • explain how cognitive load, disorientation, coherence, and navigational support relate to online course design.
  • identify design features that may create unnecessary cognitive burden in online pages and modules.
  • apply one evidence-based redesign strategy to improve clarity, focus, or navigation in a course element. 

This workshop is limited to faculty, staff and GTA's only.
