In this conversation, you will listen to a unique panel of international experts in cognitive load theory including John Sweller himself. Together with him, you will meet four experts with a unique ability to apply cognitive load theory (CLT) in the classroom and to support teachers in learning to do so. John Sweller accompanied by Kate Jones, Nidhi Sachdeva, Greg Ashman and Ollie Lovell; what an amazing panel for the topic for this Roundtable!

This Roundtable is a valuable listen for every teacher and school leader. But as a listener, you will get the most out of the conversation if you have a basic understanding of cognitive architecture and the basics of cognitive load theory. Feel free to listen to episodes 56 and/or 60 of this podcast before or after this episode. Specifically, on CLT Effects – which today’s Roundtable is about – both Greg Ashman and Ollie Lovell have written books for teachers that are highly recommended and cover a number of the CLT effects in a very accessible way.
