My own take here is that I'm not convinced that there is such a thing as cognitive load, but if there is, then the answer to the question is 'yes'. "Great care is taken in online learning spaces to reduce cognitive load," writes KerryJ, "But at what point (AQF and Blooms aside) do we prepare learners for the messy, complicated world they're going to find and how can we build that into course design in such a way that we don't discourage them?"
