Effects of disfluency on educational outcomes

This article describes research where the instructional designer intentionally altered the font in a learning module to be slightly harder to read. This change applied an additional cognitive burden that resulted in improved learning and retention of content. Can someone in the articulate community offer suggestions as to what typeface and font to use in a Rise 360 course in order to operationalize such a concept?

    That's so interesting! The least readable body font natively available in Rise has got to be Oswald, I have to assume it is only used as a heading font as it is very narrow and bold, it's hideous.
