Training Cognitive Load
Assessment
Rate a class or presentation you recently designed or delivered. Two short sections, 14 questions, about 3 minutes. You'll get a scored profile and specific design recommendations.
Section 1 of 2 — Cognitive load
How demanding was the cognitive work?
Rate how much each statement applied to this class or presentation — from 1 (not at all) to 7 (extremely). These items cover both content complexity and load created by design choices.
