Registration is open for the MLA webinar “Enhancing Learning in One-Shot Library Sessions: Applying Cognitive Load Theory”. It will take place on Wednesday, January 14, from 1:00 to 2:30 PM CDT. Please see below for more information, including the link to registration.
When learning something new, have you ever had difficulty concentrating or felt overwhelmed, frustrated, or tired? Sometimes that happens when we are learning something new that is complicated or in-depth because our brain is at its capacity. This webinar will help you gain a basic understanding of cognitive load theory and how it can be applied to one-shot library instruction sessions to enhance learning through a combination of direct instruction, examples, and a collaborative activity.
By understanding how our brains process and store information, we can design instruction that is easier for learners to digest and assimilate into long-term memory, thus potentially reducing the risk of overwhelming students and enhancing overall learning outcomes. This is especially valuable in one-shot library sessions in health professions, where time is limited.
