Handbook of Research on Learning and Instruction

"Two of the world's leading researchers in the area of cognitive processes and instructional design, Richard E. Mayer and Patricia A. Alexander, have combined the work of the major figures in our discipline in this edited collection. The result is a brilliant compilation of what we know about the learning sciences. It should be essential reading by all with a serious interest in this area. I expect it to be a critical source for years to come."

John Sweller, Emeritus Professor of Educational Psychology, School of Education, University of New South Wales, Australia
