Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community
Good shorter description of cognitive load theory (which is used to argue against discovery learning and constructivist methodologies) and a succinct account of why it (probably) fails. "Cognitive load theorists vehemently argue for the basis for their model in cognitive research, and yet ignore quite a huge swath of it. It accepts the information processing view of cognition (most popular in the 1980s) and Baddeley's model of working memory from the 1970s." So there.
