The use of virtual learning environments is increasing, and it raises the question of how the environments are designed to benefit learning outcomes. The Cognitive Load Theory is a well-established framework for instructional design of learning environments, and introduces different design principles, based on a working memory model. This paper describes how these principles can be used in the design of a virtual physics lab environment, and its possible implications for learning processes related to cognitive load. Future research using the software may yield further insight in the applicability of these design principles in Virtual Reality. |
