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.
