    Most recommendations that I’ve seen are platitudes or describe things that should happen when learning. But I have never seen an autodidact framework that integrates and exploits the mechanisms of cognitive load theory.

    In other words, I see tools here and there, but I don’t see an organized lab with a clear process.

    I ask this partly because there is a learning framework that is born out of cognitive load theory: Direct Instruction and Explicit Instruction. But those assume a teacher. What if all I have is a book? Or a video?

      Hm. I don’t really get what you’re saying. So that I can understand you, could you explain it?

    For what it’s worth, I recently learned about 4C/ID. I’m hoping I can adapt it to autodidactism.
