The document discusses the multimedia and contiguity principles of learning. The multimedia principle states that people learn more deeply when words are combined with graphics rather than words alone. The contiguity principle states that words and corresponding graphics should be placed near each other to create a connection for the learner. An example shows how positioning words and graphics together supports learning better than separating them.

1. Multimedia and Contiguity Principle By Patrick Coleman Ed Tech 513 - Summer 09’

2. Learning Objective : At the end of this presentation, the learner will be able to correctly explain & identify the elements of the multimedia and the contiguity principles with 100% accuracy.

3. The Multimedia Principle asserts that “people will learn more deeply from words and graphics than from words alone.” (Clark and Mayer, 2008) Turtle > Or Turtle

5. The Contiguity Principle states that “in multimedia presentations, printed words should be placed near correlating graphic(s) in order to create a connection to the learner.” (Clark and Mayer, 2008) A good example of the Contiguity Principle : Football Futbol

6. Contiguity Principle con’t: A “not so good” Example: notice how the position of the the respective words do not give the learner any clue or hint as to which is which? Football Futbol

7. Review Words + Graphics = Multimedia Words + Graphics + Proximity = Contiguity
