To my professor, Dr. Reed

Even though it has been two weeks since Dr. Reed had left us, I still cannot believe that he really left us. As everyone said, he was my best teacher. He always encouraged me and gave me opportunities to be trained as a scholar.

His picture at this blog makes me miss him so much. He might have been smoking in front of East building when Christine took this picture. I know a few things that he liked… Winston cigarette, Oren’s coffee with two Splendas, and doggies… Even though I don’t smoke, it was a great time to chat with Dr. Reed when he was smoking and it was fun to buy one more coffee for my professor.

I cannot forget his classes. His statistics and methodology class is one of my best classes in NYU. He showed me what a professor should feed a student. If I will be a teacher or professor someday, I will follow him as a role model.

He said he would travel after his retirement. He traveled too far away, too soon. I will not forget him. Thank you very much, Dr. Reed!

Learners as "PROSUMER"

When I read the article a few days ago, it said that the users in game industry tend to be "prosumers" which mean they not only consume and but also product (contribute) the game in a new way. Compared to traditional approach that one knowledgable person feeds many ignorant people in one-way approach, new technology such as interactive web sites or games can provide learners with the opportunity of participation. Therefore, web-designer should provide more chances of interaction so that learners can have wisdom beyond data, information, and knowledge.

Cognitive Load Theory and Implications

Cognitive Load theory is one of my favorite theories in an instructional design area. But, I’m still wondering how to measure human cognitive load. In daily life, many people often say that they are overloaded. But, how do they know overloaded? Sweller et al (1998) introduce subjective, physiological, and task- and performance-based measurement to figure out cognitive load. And, they conclude subjective measurement is the most reliable technique to measure cognitive load. However, many psychological studies tell us the limitation of self-rating scale. Subjective measurements need to prove their reliability and there should be more research for measuring invisible cognitive load.
I agree that instructional designers should make an effort to reduce unnecessary extraneous cognitive load when they design and develop instruction. Especially, considering that multimedia-based learning imposes more redundancy or split-attention to learners compared to traditional learning, instructional designers should keep in mind the implications of cognitive load theory. That is, technique itself cannot guarantee effective and efficient learning.
