Digital rights management
Digital rights management (DRM) is the use of technology to control access to copyrighted
material. It also enables copyright holders and content creators to manage what users can do with
their content, such as how many devices they can access media on and whether they can share it.
DRM is increasingly important to protecting content against the rise of online piracy and illegal
sharing of content on file-sharing services.

Cognitive load theory
Cognitive load theory is an instructional theory based on our knowledge of human cognition
(Sweller, Ayres & Kalyuga, 2011). Since its inception in the 1980 s (e.g., Sweller, 1988), the
theory has used aspects of human cognitive architecture to generate experimental, instructional
effects. These effects are demonstrated when novel instructional procedures are compared with
more traditional procedures as part of a randomized, controlled experiment. If the novel
procedure facilitates learning, based on test performance, a new effect may have been
demonstrated, an effect generated by our knowledge of human cognition.

Instrinsic cognitive load
An intrinsic cognitive load refers to the fundamental difficulty of a specific topic, regardless of
how that topic is presented. If you are learning calculus, the problem-solving resources needed to

20-20-20 Method
Using the 20-20-20 rule can help to prevent this problem. For every 20 minutes a person looks at
a screen, they should look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Following the rule is a great
way to remember to take frequent breaks. This may reduce eye strain caused by looking at digital
screens for too long.
