11:00 - 11:45 - Invited speaker Chris Atchison, who will be joining us remotely from Alaska. (abstract)

The two attached images are from Chris' talk. For the cognitive load seesaw image, he notes that we should be aware that for "cognitive load - students (may be) more concerned with their surroundings than focused on content." When considering the total amount of mental effort, the following factors play critical roles: "the manner in which material is presented; (the effort expended) on a learning task; active processing of information to working memory."
