So Find a Way to Ease Into Complex Learning
In a Learning Context – we should ALWAYS seek to avoid Cognitive Overload. Ease into Complex Learning Incrementally.
As Always – It Depends.
It depends on the prior experience of the learners/Performers.
Don’t hit them with a lot of content that’s brand new to them. Or with a lot of complexity to start with. Or with dazzling graphics – or shine objects dancing across the screen.
IMO an immersive experience is at the end of the chain-of-learning-experiences. Not at the front end. Or even in the middle.

Don’t Overload them. Ease them into anything complex … or just plain “new” to their knowledge/experience-base.
Have some Empathy!
