Part of a Three Year Study on the Implications of Adding Technology into the Traditional Classroom Environment Caitlyn Ralph
The twenty-first century’s change in learning Online testing (FCAT, EOC) Online classes (FLVS, SCVS) Need to test and analyze these alterations effect on learning

Total Cognitive Load =
Intrinsic + Extraneous + Germane
! ! What is wanted: More Germane Less Extraneous ! ! What is not wanted: Less Germane More Extraneous
Means and Standard Deviations
Efficiency (E) is positive when performance (P) > mental effort (M), negative if P < M, and zero if P = M. Ideally, M < P, therefore the more efficient a strategy, the higher E value.
Ef
E = P - M /√ 2

Activity was successful (based on the means) Limited difference between traditional and technological methods Relationship with previous studies Inverse relationship Younger students: Gradual incorporation Older students: More rapid All ages: Progressive exposure (increase experience/accuracy) Other ramifications
