Registration is open for the MLA webinar \u201cEnhancing Learning in One-Shot Library Sessions: Applying Cognitive Load Theory\u201d. It will take place on Wednesday, January 14, from 1:00 to 2:30 PM CDT<\/strong>. Please see below for more information, including the link to registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
