Chunking Content into "Digestible Bites"
“It is important to give students the right amount and complexity of information. Students need enough information so they can process it, but not so little that they lose interest. Like eating a good steak, you don’t put the whole thing in your mouth; you cut it up and eat it one bite at a time!”
~ John Edwards Learning Sciences International
