When I first started working as an e-Learning instructional designer I became interested in the learning process and how people learn. I figured that if I knew more about information processing and learning, I could hopefully design more effective courses. I came across a book called Efficiency in Learning: Evidence-Based Guidelines to Manage Cognitive Load by Ruth Colvin Clark, Frank Nguyen and John Sweller. In this book I discovered – among other things - Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) which is based on studies of human cognitive architecture – how we process and organise information.

In our brains, we have two types of memory. One is our working memory, which we use to process new information. CLT proposes that there are three types of cognitive load: Intrinsic: this is the level of complexity inherent in the material being studied. Germane: these are elements that allow cognitive resources to be put towards learning i.e. assist with information processing. References: Mayer, R.

MIDT_" @michael.nkwenti. MOOCing It: 10 Tips for Creating Compelling Video Content. The New York Times dubbed 2012 as the Year of the MOOC. In case you are Rip van Winkle waking from a long, deep slumber, a MOOC is a massive open online course, which can have enrollments in the thousands. It's easy to calculate that one MOOC can reach more students in one semester than in an entire teaching career. (And I'll be the first to admit there are pluses and minuses to this format. But that is another discussion, another blog.) So let's say you are a brave soul and want to MOOC it, and you want to create the video component for your course. 1. Recording a lesson can be pretty straightforward once you get the proper gear, and get accustomed to using it.

2. I will be the first to admit that I was mistaken in thinking I could put together a MOOC quickly. 3. One thing I learned from recording my voice is that I occasionally (and embarrassingly) smack when I am talking. 4. 5. Exploriments. Courses. Coursera. A List of Educational Slideshows and Presentations for Teachers and Students. Presentations and slideshows are great tools in education and learning. They do not only provide information in such a visually appealing way but also help learners remember what they have seen and read. One of the outstanding feature that slidewhows have is their brevity. They provide what is needed in shot sentences and sometimes illustrated with pictures, videos or audio.

Throughout my decent experience in teaching in different countries I come to the conclusion that students and teachers too love to have learning materials presented in slideshows.This is why I devoted a whole section in my blog to just sharing with all of you interesting presentations that you can use in your classroom with your students or share with your colleagues. I will be adding to this list anytime I created a new slideshow and you better bookmark this webpage for new updates because more and more awesome slidwshows are on the way. 1- A List of Free Educational Android Apps for Teachers e.
