What is this qualification?
Cognitive load theory explains why a well-planned session can still leave learners confused. This masterclass covers the three types of load, how working memory limits what learners can take in, and the practical moves that reduce unnecessary load - clearer resources, worked examples, better sequencing and less split attention.
Practical, example-led CPD for teachers, trainers and assessors, with a certificate on completion.
