The presentation and feedback process for LRNT 526 has definitely presented some interesting reflections for me, as well as bringing cognitive learning elements to the fore even more.\u00a0 <\/span>It was so interesting to hear people say my audio was muffled, as well as to comment on how the use of different narrative voices impacted the learning experience.\u00a0 <\/span>There also were general comments that our video needed transitions to give them more time to adjust through our varied perspectives on the modality and instance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n My video was an attempt to show how combinations and varied approaches to video learning design can impact the learning experience, keeping cognitive load in mind.\u00a0 <\/span>In reflection, my varied narrative approaches may have added extraneous load for some, as they may have distracted from the desired learning outcome.\u00a0 <\/span>My video quality was lower due to a file transfer, which also may have created added strain. \u00a0 <\/span>These aspects are all common with video based learning, so only add into my own personal learning journey with this modality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As I move forward with my own critical inquiry, I am continuing to focus on best practices when linking to Cognitive Load Theory.\u00a0 <\/span>In particular, I\u2019m now interested in determining how TED videos approach learners with differing prior learning.\u00a0 <\/span>Do they use enough worked examples with clear and succinct narration for novice learners?\u00a0 <\/span>Is there too much information, and not enough time to build schemas to be put into practice?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n TED Ed doesn\u2019t really have a focus like Lynda, Coursera, Udemy etc.\u00a0 <\/span>From what I\u2019ve seen, not many learners engage in the Discuss aspect of the lessons, and most videos are stand alone.\u00a0 <\/span>There also are very limited testing or evaluation methods to determine what has been learned.\u00a0 <\/span>That being said, I will continue to delve into how these videos are constructed with regards to visuals, audio and text.\u00a0 <\/span>I am interested to explore more about best practices such as worked examples (mentioned above), as well as process based examples \u201cin which each example is accompanied by a commentary or other information indicating how and why the relevant steps are taken to solve a problem\u201d (Pass, Renkl & Sweller, 2004, p. 6).\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019m also presently seeking out literature which is contradictory to best practices I\u2019ve previously read, in an attempt to determine how these best practices may be changing as video modalities become more common and are used in different learning contexts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n References<\/span><\/p>\n Paas, F., Renkl, A., & Sweller, J.
