Instructional Strategy Based on Cognitive Load Theory We might have all heard a great deal about working memory and long term memory and their influence on instructional design.

Misused English Words and Expressions in EU publications Over the years, the European institutions have developed a vocabulary that differs from that of any recognised form of English. It includes words that do not exist or are relatively unknown to native English speakers outside the EU institutions and often even to standard spellcheckers/grammar checkers (‘planification’, ‘to precise’ or ‘telematics’ for example) and words that are used with a meaning, often derived from other languages, that is not usually found in English dictionaries (‘coherent’ being a case in point).

The learning organization: an often-described, but seldom-observed phenomenon This post is in response to the Adidas Blog Carnival on a and more specifically responding to the question, “What should a true learning organisation look like?” W.
