Learning will be effective if it can minimize extraneous cognitive load because students' understanding can be improved and stored in long-term memory. The purpose of this study was to determine the development of e-learning teaching materials on matrices based on cognitive load theory that is valid, practical, and effective. The development of this teaching material uses e-LKS (electronic student worksheet) with the help of a liveworksheet and presents example-based learning. This study uses the ADDIE development model. The development steps used are (1) analysis, (2) design, (3) development, (4) implementation, (5) evaluation. Valid test based on expert judgment shows that e-learning teaching materials on matrices based on cognitive load theory get an average of 4.25 with very valid category so that this teaching material is feasible to use. The practicality test based on the student response questionnaire showed that this teaching material obtained an average of 79.7% with a good category, and the evaluation test showed that this teaching material obtained an average of 78.6% with student completeness in learning so it can be concluded that e-learning teaching materials on matrices based on cognitive load theory can be said to be effective.

Abstract. In two pilot experiments, a new approach for the direct assessment of cognitive load during multimedia learning was tested that uses dual-task methodology. Using this approach, we obtained the same pattern of cognitive load as predicted by cognitive load theory when applied to multimedia learning: The audiovisual presentation of text-based and picture-based learning materials induced less cognitive load than the visual-only presentation of the same material. The findings confirm the utility of dual-task methodology as a promising approach for the assessment of cognitive load induced by complex multimedia learning systems.
