Principle of effective multimedia learning - DR JAMILAH.pptx
1. Principle of effective multimedia learning
Words & pictures are better than words alone
Research indicates use of both words and pictures lets
the brain process more information in working memory.
2. Principle of effective multimedia learning
MM learning is more effective when learner attention us focused,
not split.
When related content is presented together in time and
visually, learning is more effective (Mayer, 2005).
When related content is not presented together, learner
attention is split and the brain has more work to do to
integrate the disparate information.
Eg. Word and picture presented simultaneously are more
effective than when presented sequentially.
3. Principle of effective multimedia learning
MM learning is more effective when learner attention us focused,
not split.
MM applications that have text and pictures presented in
close proximity (or that may overlap) are more effective than
those applications that present text and pictures far apart on
the screen
text which is included with video or graphic information, it
should be presented in close proximity to the pictures.
4. Principle of effective multimedia learning
Content presentation should be exclude extraneous and
redundant information.
MM learning is more effective when it includes only content
is relevant and aligned to instructional objectives.
Learning is most effective when interesting and irrelevant
information is eliminated the brain’s limited information
processing resources do not waste the brain capacity.
Important to distinguish between redundant information
5. Principle of effective multimedia learning
It should be interactive and under the control of learner
Research indicates learners learn more when they are able to
control the pace of presentation –when to start, to stop or
slowing down.
Pacing – can be achieved by breaking presentation into
segment allow users to select segments at their own pace of
work
6. Principle of effective multimedia learning
Learner knowledge structures are activated prior to exposure
to MM content
Presentation is enhanced when the structures for
organizing the information are activated.
Activation can be accomplished by allowing students to
preview the content through demonstrations, discussion,
etc.
7. Principle of effective multimedia learning
MM learning is most effective when the learner is engaged with
the presentation
Content and format should actively engaged the learner:-
Personalized the presentation-
presentations have a more conversational tone and familiar
voice tend to be more engaging than that have a formal
tone.
Use on onscreen characters (facial appearance (human-like
vs cartoon-like) and gender (male vs female) can increase
student engagement.
8. Principle of effective multimedia learning
MM learning is most effective when learner can apply their
newly acquired knowledge and receive feedback
Learners must be provided with opportunities to apply
what they have learned with their everyday life.
Learners should be informed about their progress
frequent and immediate
