Due to the lack of understanding about cognitive load,large numbers of web-based courses have cognitive overload problems,which then cause quality of these courses to suffer.This paper starts with a discussion of cognitive load theory and then discusses the design principles for web-based courses in terms of intrinsic cognitive load,extraneous cognitive load and germane cognitive load.We illustrate this with a web-based web course titled Modern Educational Technology.
