Video: Cognitive Overload

I created this short video using Vyond to show the impact that cognitive overload can have on learners.

PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT

This video was actually unplanned. I was writing a blog post about Cognitive Load Theory when the idea for a short concept video came to mind.

TECHNIQUES

I used Vyond with the contemporary character set for this video which was just personal preference. The video shows a learner having to carry more and more items before getting angry and throwing everything away.

I created a new frame each time the character (who I call Cognitive Karen) is given a new item. The ‘explotion’ used several props and motion path animations. I used stock sound effects and music for the video.
