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
