Chunky Learning in Designing Learning

“Too much information at one time creates confusion. Chunking is a term for breaking down concepts into meaningful parts. The learning professional should give the learner a maximum of three large pieces of information at a time. In a session, if the topic has three major components, the facilitator should deliver them within an hour. After delivering the three large chunks within an hour, it’s time to summarize and break.”
