T42 SMT: Video-based versus text-based instruction: Some cognitive load insights

• In Event: Roundtables - Friday
  In Roundtable Session: Roundtables II - SMT

Short Description

The current research compared computerized video-based and text-based learning in terms of the amount of cognitive load imposed during both learning and testing. The results indicated that watching video and reading on-screen text about the same topic impose a similar and high amount of cognitive load during learning. The same results also held true for both immediate and delayed testing. Overall, this seems to be the case for especially self-paced computerized or multimedia learning environments.
