Learning in Bits

This site was created by Allison Moreland, a consultant and ID who has 10+ years in the field.

Many useful techniques for IDs are presented here. I found the blog "Congitive Load in Practice" to be extremely useful, as it is something that I encounter at work frequently. Offloading is a technique where you replace some visual information with narration. Also, the Eliminationg Redundancy section shows the ID how to avoid providing the same text on screen as it is provided in narration.

Another area of interest was in the area of providing instruction in sizeable chunks, rather than one long, drawn out lesson. This supports the cognitive ideas that work well for me as a learner.
