The document discusses two principles of multimedia learning - the multimedia principle and the contiguity principle. The multimedia principle states that learners understand better from words and images than words alone. The contiguity principle refers to aligning text and graphics to aid comprehension. The document provides examples of figures illustrating math operations and assessment questions testing understanding of the principles.
