Learn how to help your students learn more efficiently by reducing the cognitive load -- the amount of mental effort -- taken up by extraneous information and poor design.
In this webinar, an experienced library instructor will demonstrate easy, non-technical best practices in instructional design that will help your information literacy teaching in any medium.

At the end of the session, participants should be able to:
1. Define extraneous and intrinsic cognitive load, and how they each affect information literacy learning; and
2. Use simple best practices of instructional design to create better learning experiences and reduce extraneous cognitive load on students.
