Abstract

Currently not only based on the pandemic but forced by technological development, the education sector is undergoing profound changes, challenging many traditional models of pedagogy and making the use of digital teaching formats essential. This work examines Knowledge Nuggets as a new form of knowledge delivery, built on the foundation of the instructional design developed and related to cognitive load. The empirical results in this work are based on a pre-study that tests the general applicability of Knowledge Nuggets design and tries to find out more about the perceived stress level of learners during learning with Knowledge Nuggets. The findings will form the basis for further research. To empirically investigate this issue, an experiment is conducted comparing three different levels of Knowledge Nuggets built around the topic of Business Intelligence. While level 1 contains only text within a document, level 2 and level 3 address additional senses. Level 2 provides knowledge in the form of a slideshow with an added audio track, whereby the combination of image and sound, thus addresses two senses in parallel. On the other hand, the linking of text, language, images and animations through a video tutorial forms the basis for Level 3. The results from the experiment confirm the applicability of the developed Knowledge Nuggets and the feasibility of the study.
