Interesting Aspects of the brain load and capacity are covered in lucid manner
please provide additional resources, examples and non-examples for additional reading.
assessment has glitches
The course is really good, concepts are clearly explained.
Please add review option for final assessment to review the answers. I felt like my answers are correct but it seems to be wrong, so add review option for final assessment. It would help to learn better. Now i feel like concepts that I have consumed is wrong.
good
The structure places a low cognitive load, yet the format of summative answers is quite nice as it re-engages our brain to think about what we learnt.
This course was very helpful to get to the grassroot level of the designing a course
The materials were easy to follow.
I loved this course. Every concept was taught with clarity and precision. It was wonderfully designed and explained.
Well explained.
A very useful course. which adopts the theory that is being taught.
I am not a big fan of fill in the blanks though as you need to remember the exact term, which is quite difficult for an aging memory. 🙂
This course provides a good insight into the Cognitive Load theory. Some sections, such as the section describing types of Cognitive Load are quite insightful. The course provides good opportunities for practice.
This is a short but highly impactful course. I learnt so many important learning nuances here. This course will help Instructional Designers in creating better courses for the learners.
A good course having good and practical explanation of cognitive load theory.
The course helps you develop a good understanding of each topic with good options for practicing.
