Short Description

This paper introduces the ongoing project to find out the effect of virtual hands in virtual simulations on learners’ cognitive load level and knowledge comprehension. Learning from virtual simulations is still an arguable issue because it cause cognitive overload. While transient animation increases cognitive load, embodied movement may reduce it. In this study, the contradictory views about embodiment and virtual simulations on cognitive load will be addressed along with multimedia design issues.
