This study contributes a new prototype software instrument called Cognitive Load Evaluation Management System (CLEMS) that engages research findings from Cognitive Load Theory as a theoretical framework and evidence-based standard for supporting educators in evaluating and improving learning design.
CLEMS adopts a personalised model of learning that uses digital technologies to support and monitor learners to overcome learning barriers and attain higher levels of understanding of complex knowledge. It addresses a need in supporting the evaluation of learning design quality using evidence based strategies. The study was conducted using a Design-based research methodology and Critical Realism ontological framework.
