Instructional Design – Weeding

This video is the next in a series about instructional design and technology integration.  It focuses on “weeding” (Mayer and Moreno, 2003 as cited by Mayer and Clark, 2010, p. 308).  Note the video in this post: https://ict-design.org/2013/11/28/instructional-design-and-technology-integration/ where cognitive overload occurs because of the split attention effect.  As a viewer, you are trying to focus either on the writing at the bottom of the screen or the verbal explanation.  The videos are nearly identical; however, in the video in this post most subtitles and music while speaking occurs was removed.  The effect is that it reduces extraneous processing by the viewer.

Instructional Design – Cognitive Overload

This is the first video in a series involving key ideas in instructional design.  It has technology integrated through authentic means in the lesson.  It is meant to induce cognitive overload, but embeds a lot of information about instructional design in doing so.  Watch this video as a comparison.  This video specifically explores: 

  • Split Attention Effect
  • Cognitive Overload
  • Learning Styles
  • Primacy and Recency
  • Presentation of the Whole Task (Pebbles in the Pond)
  • Searching for Misconceptions
  • Looking for Evidence
  • Multimodal Presentation
  • Prior Knowledge
  • Creating an Atmosphere of Problem-Solving
  • Instructivist and Constructivist Techniques
  • Motivation
  • Choice
  • Differentiation

Journey North Mystery Class

See on Scoop.ittech | design | education

Introducing the Class of 2010! Travel around our animated globe to meet all your new “bff’s”. Do you know which one might serve you “stinky feet” fruit? Or milkweed soup? Or which one’s police officers issue tickets if you ride your elephant in the street? Find this out and so much more!

Thomas Adam Johnson‘s insight:

This looks interesting and like another neat way we can inspire, intrigue, and connect with others around the world.

1. An educational platform in the cloud for collaboration, development, and learning. 
2. A digital nation of global learners.

Thomas Adam Johnson‘s insight:

The idea of MOOCs from a new perspective.  I am interested in learning more about how this can happen and somehow becoming a part of it.
