https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd What strategies will you implement in your online learning environment to reduce extraneous load on young learners? (150 words) en-us 2021-09-19 01:52:17 UTC 2026-03-22 23:22:04 UTC hello@padlet.com amw729 https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd/wish/1795800918 One technique I use to reduce cognitive load in teaching online is to maintain consistency between the modules. Using the same format and structure means that students don't need to work to try to understand the layout, they have seen it before and know how it works. I also try to chunk information to try not to overload the learners, focusing on a minimal number of concepts for students.]]> 2021-10-06 08:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd/wish/1795800918 https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd/wish/1795832910 In an online environment it is important to reduce extraneous load for students. To fully engage students throughout learning modules, I will reduce the amount of times they are taken away from the main learning screen (by embedding the content within the website).

While I am in workplace training, I realise that a lot of hastily built content that is mostly text. We have a large number of staff with very limited literacy skills and I think  the redundancy principle may apply. I am aware though in an organisation where we have staff who can hardly read and write and others who have doctorates, it is hard to strike a balance when designing universal courses.]]> 2021-10-06 11:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd/wish/1796175560 chanderpalverma10 https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd/wish/1799183118 1. Labelling things right next its location. For example, while labelling parts of cell, cell wall and cell membranes should be labelled near to them and not far away from them.
2. I think it is important to reduce the learning content within small chunks of information to reduce cognitive load.
3. Using simple, precise and on-point visual and audio elements. ]]> 2021-10-07 09:02:08 UTC https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd/wish/1799183118 pjg140 https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd/wish/1801464897 In my primary classroom I will
Reduce cognitive load - get over things need to be pretty and only include relevant tools and information. It makes sense that graphics and text are placed nearby to reduce extraneous load, I will be making sure I do this more often.

This coherence principle states that students’ extraneous load can be reduced when unnecessary graphics, text and audio is excluded from learning materials. Thus, students will learn better if there is less multimedia present in the lessons and if I have slides, I will keep them simple. - Chelsea Swan]]> 2021-10-09 02:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd/wish/1803551210 https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd/wish/1804887107 I will ensure that in the primary classroom, I am only including the necessary information, pictures and graphics. I will definitely use the idea of highlighting or having arrows point to the most important parts. I also had not considered the placement of graphics close to captions, so I will ensure I keep this in ming when creating my daily google slides and the students weekly online learning schedules for the week. ]]> 2021-10-10 05:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd/wish/1804887107 navnitk2020 https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd/wish/1804909825 1. By making explicit presentations in which text and images are presented simultaneously and the slides are not overloaded with information.
2. Scaffolding the information into small tasks.
3. Highlighting important information.
4. Teaching content that is necessary.

To start with, coherence principle is essential to reduce cognitive overload. Strategies I would use include evaluating the the importance of specific aspects such as images, text or sound to the learning content. This would help me identify unnecessary content and assist me reduce cognitive overload dur to high intensity of unnecessary input. Second, I find highlighting important information or giving cues an important aspect of guiding student through the content and assisting them with their learning. Strategies such as highlighting text with the important part ensure students are focusing in the target and important part of content.]]> 2021-10-10 09:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd/wish/1805103452 nbahaa https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd/wish/1807343883 1. Use images and words simultaneously to clarify content taking into consideration that slides are not overloaded with content (spatial contiguity principle)
2. Draw learners' attention to important ideas by using clues or symbols (signalling principle) 
3. Use simple, legible font throughout presentation so as not to distract learners.
4.  exclude unnecessary graphics, text and audio to reduce extraneous load.
5. Scaffolding new topics by breaking them into small chunks activating prior knowledge stimulates intrinsic load. ]]> 2021-10-11 11:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/loz_darmo91/6uttu0s9qpw555dd/wish/1807343883
