5. Multimedia Principle
Adding Graphics that help the learner understand the
material.
Examples of these graphics are:
Teach Content – facts, concepts, procedures
Topic Organizers – Topic maps
Show Relationships – diagrams, graphs
Lesson Interfaces
7. Contiguity Principle
Common mistakes
Relational graphics and text are separated or not fully
visible due to browser scrolling.
Onscreen reference appears on a second browser
window that covers the onscreen course
10. Modality Principle
Visual graphics and onscreen text must
compete for the same visual attention
“Modality effect” - people learn
more deeply when words explain
animations and graphics.
11. Modality Principle
Use text with audio only to reinforce key points -
single words or remember phrases.
This principle applies only in situations in which you
present graphics and verbal commentary at the same.
14. Redundancy Principle
1. Avoid Presenting Words as Narration
and Identical text in the presence of
graphics.
Students learn better from animation
and narration than from animation,
narration, and text.
15. Redundancy Principle
Are there any situtations in elearning
that duplicating text and audio useful?
