I know this is a silly picture, but this is how I feel sometimes about using some online programs. Based on my learner analysis, I need to be very aware of how easy this module is to use because as I stated previously, the learners all have full time jobs that they are committed to, and some have families. Most of them are very busy and need something quick and easy to use. At the same time, these learners are all highly educated and their abilities should not be undermined. I know I have already planned out the information for the module, but I'd really like to focus on chunking the information so that it does not become overwhelming. This will help ensure that the cognitive load is not overbearing. Thankfully, this information is not intrinsically very dense... but the extrinsic load is something that I can be sure to do correctly as to maximize the amount of information transferred to the learner.
