  “Clark, Nguyen and Sweller are all well respected and accomplished in the field. This resource for instructional professionals explains how to accelerate learning by focusing student attention and avoiding redundancy in the presentation of material. It opens with a discussion of the principles of cognitive load theory, which forms the basis for all of the guidelines to follow. The book is unique in that it gives proven guidelines and principles, and then it gives you the research and real-world examples (using great graphs and visuals) to demonstrate each. The book is easy to read and is applicable to all educational settings. I will continue to refer to this book for many years to come.
