Optimizing Learning: The Power of Effective Teaching：
In Module 1, I gained insights into the concept of cognitive load and how teachers can enhance long-term memory for students while minimizing or eliminating irrelevant cognitive load. I found this topic particularly intriguing. In this chapter, the videos provided clarity on a question that has perplexed me for years. Specifically, I now understand why there are disparities in education between different schools. Through an understanding of the cognitive load theory, it became evident to me that a good teacher and well-designed presentations can significantly aid students. Conversely, an irresponsible teacher and poorly crafted presentations can pose substantial obstacles to students in terms of cognitive understanding and knowledge acquisition.
Streamlining Content and Delivery for Engaging and Effective Educational Videos：
Regarding the video I intend to create, it aligns closely with the professor’s lectures and assigned tasks. Firstly, my video will diligently avoid poorly designed and irrelevant content presentation. For example, in crafting a PowerPoint presentation, I will minimize the use of unnecessary images and obscure vocabulary. During the video, I’ll steer clear of pointless dialogues, aiming for clarity and simplicity. Given the limited attention span of students, I’ll ensure the video is not excessively lengthy， I’ll strive to control the duration, allowing the audience to conclude the video at the peak of their focus.
Audience for this screencast:
For the audience of this video, I am targeting people of a similar age, especially college students. Therefore, my video production and content selection are very consistent with the cognition of college students.
I used screenpal, because I’m new to it, so this is my first time recording a video, adding subtitles and uploading a video
