About Cognitve Load Theory in Relation to Instructional Design or Online Learning

There are numerous articles on cognitive load theory. This is not a comprehensive list. I have chosen to highlight recent articles that pertain to cognitive load theory in relation to online learning or instructional design that are important to my research area. Many of these articles are already listed with the experts recents publications this list respresents articles not covered in the expert section.
