Given what a killer it is for learning, we’ve long thought that there isn’t enough importance placed on how to teach for “The Transient Information Effect” – when important information disappears before learners can process it.. And so, we were excited to receive this incredibly timely substack from Dr Nidhi Sachdeva, in conversation with the OG of Cognitive Load Theory, Dr. John Sweller, which provides a really good overview of a) what  it is and b) some excellent classroom ways to deal with it. In a nutshell, if what you are trying to communicate is complex, put it in permanent form (written, drawings etc) because if it’s in verbal form of your written material disappears too quickly from sight, it won’t be remembered. Dr Sachdeva has also included a nicely constructed micro lesson on it all too.
