Understanding the basics of the Cognitive Load Theory and applying them to your instructional design is an absolute must, particularly if you want your learners to get the most out of the eLearning course you are creating. This guide will offer you a detailed look at Cognitive Load Theory, including how it can be applied in learning settings. Check the Cognitive Load Theory and Instructional Design article and presentation to find more. Via Ken Morrison

Ken's Key Takeaway Games can be good for: 1.Urgent Optimism
BUT you better be able to defend game use via solid instructional design and application of theory (and administration buy-in). Thus, the following framework may be helpful.
I really appreciate the framework of if/how to incorporate games into a course: 1) WHY? Start by looking at course objectives Consider http://www.gamesforchange.org/connect/ 3) IF? Consider if the classroom technology, setup and IT will support this game. Are online options available? Flipping?
Gamification is not playing. Be prepared to prep students on how to defend this myth. They can be great allies if you can prove that they are learning from the exercise. More importantly, they can solidify new knowledge for life. Ken Via Ken Morrison

Ken's Key Takeaway:
The more information that is delivered at once, the more likely that the students will not actually learn what is being taught nor will they be able to call upon that information for later use.
Important concept and theory.
