About
Why this site exists
Cognitive Load Theory exists to make one well-studied idea from learning science genuinely useful. Cognitive load theory explains a lot about why people do — and don't — understand what we teach. The aim here is to turn that into practical tools, not academic summaries.
Who writes it
Created by Pasquaniel Navarro, a communicator and teacher who translates learning science into practical tools — a serious practitioner, not a credentialed expert.
How claims are handled
Learning-science claims on this site use careful language (“can help,” “is often used to”) and cite sources where appropriate. Cognitive load theory is a useful, well-studied model — not a guarantee of learning outcomes.
