A final consideration is the element of learner
choice. This topic has been briefly examined in
Ritzhaupt and Barron (2008) and Pastore (In
review), however, we have yet to determine if
our recommendations will hold as cognitive
load is increased and various forms of media are
introduced. As a result, research on the topics
discussed previously in this section: instructional
video and cognitive load should include a learner
preference variable.
