Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) is a framework in educational psychology for understanding how the limited capacity of working memory affects learners' ability to process and store information. Described by Dylan Wiliam as "the single most important thing for teachers to know" (Wiliam, 2017), CLT informs instructors and instructional designers how to present information in a manner that avoids overloading learners' cognitive resources to maximize learning. Participants will learn from examples of improved design and explore areas in their teaching where they can apply this theory to improve student learning.
