So I guess we should call it 'physically active, active learning' then 🤔

vs
Speaking + gesture

Gesturing off loads (reduces) part of working memory load

#edtech #learningdesign

Paas @UOW #mqminds | Visual + Auditory + Movement
= more nodes activated (LT memory)
= higher information retrieval

Paas @UOW #mqminds | Strategies to deal with movement in animation

Exception to the rule - anything involving human movement 👍🏾
#edtech

Paas @UOW #mqminds | Static or animated graphic: which is best?

Surprisingly static

Allows re-inspection, easier to process

#edtech

Paas @UOW #mqminds | High load on working memory w/ text and graphics (left)
Better: contextualise text w/ graphic features (right)
#edtech

Paas @UOW #mqminds | Must be able to retrieve from a network of nodes

Paas @UOW #mqminds | Sensory memory filters; Working memory (most important), a limited system, 5-9 elements, no more than 20 secs
#edtech

Paas @UOW #mqminds | What is #cognitiveload ?
In video:
Problem/task is simple = low load
Presentation is overwhelming = high load
#edtech

Paas #mqminds | There is only learning if there is new learning
