And, of course, if their job is to train learners to be better qualified in an industry, then those jargon terms are part of what they need to teach.

(In fact, “mental schemas” is itself a jargon term.). Avoid alienating learners by making sure each new jargon term is understood before using it regularly in your text, and offer a glossary that they can easily reference if they forget about it down the road.

But, if you brand your course as an advanced “master class,” then you can use more complicated terminology, although providing a glossary of terms is still a good idea. If you advertise a course as being for beginners, then you will need to keep it at beginner level. Information overload: teaching too much, too quickly.
