Abstract

Presentation of teaching materials through media requires planning that considers many factors includes cognitive load and the principles of multimedia learning. Therefore, this study tried to compare cognitive loads from the use of textbooks and interactive simulations. The method used in this study is theoretical and literature review. From the analysis that has been done, it is known that presentation through multimedia is not always more effective than conventional presentation. This is due to the limitations of cognitive load associated with divided attention or the lack of presentation of work examples in the presentation of multimedia-based teaching materials such as interactive simulators. However, the written presentation can also increase additional load, for example, the presentation of too much material in long written texts without relevant scaffolding or explanatory images. In addition, it is known that excessive interactivity can also increase cognitive load, so it is necessary to consider the level of interactivity.
