People can learn more deeply
from words and pictures than
from words alone.
People can learn
Multimedia researchers are
interested in how people learn
from words and pictures, and
in how to design multimedia
learning environments that
promote learning.

According to the presentation modes view, multimedia requires verbal and
pictorial representations, such as on-screen text and animation or printed text
and illustrations.

Multimedia learning occurs when people
build mental representations from words
(such as spoken text or printed text) and
pictures (such as illustrations, photos,
animation, or video).
MULTIMEDIA LEARNING
Multimedia refers to the presentation of
words and pictures, whereas learning
refers to the learner’s construction of
knowledge.

Multimedia instruction (or a multimedia learning environment) involves presenting words
and pictures that are intended to promote learning. In short, multimedia instruction refers to
designing multimedia presentations in ways that help people build mental representations.

If you’re creating a training video, PowerPoint
presentation, or eLearning course, how do you
ensure your final product will be an effective
learning resource?
To help us create the most effective multimedia
learning experiences, Richard Mayer has
developed a theory of 12 Principles of Multimedia
Learning. Think of these principles as ‘guidelines’
as you develop your digital learning experiences.
Instead of flooding your audience with paragraphs
of Arial text, why not use a little science theory to
help you stay on track.

Personalization
Principle
01
You can use this by keeping your
language simple and casual. Try to
avoid overly professional sounding
text, or long, complex words. It also
helps to use the first person (you, I,
we, our).
How to use
The Personalization Principle says
that humans learn best from a more
informal, conversational voice than
an overly formal voice. Having a
more casual voice actually improves
the learning experience.

Principles

Voice
Principle
02
This one is simple:
o Narrate your own audio content or
use a voiceover professional.
o If doing it yourself, ensure you
have a high-quality microphone
and use audio editing software.
How to use
People learn better when the words
are spoken in a standard-accented
human voice rather than a machine
voice or foreign-accented human
voice.

Signaling
Principle
03
You can utilize by:
o Highlighting important words and
using animated arrows to point out
significant information.
o Another way you can use by
having slides or scenes that
separate learning sections.
How to use
People learn better when cues that
highlight the organization of the
essential material are added.

Interactivity
Principle
04
Two characteristics appear:
o The use of animated graphics as
soon as depiction of dynamic
system is involved.
o The capability for learners to
interact with the instructional
material.
How to use
People learn better when they can
control the speed of the learning
assets.

Pre-training
Principle
05
How to apply:
o Develop an introductory module
to explain key concepts before
starting the main program.
o Ensure students know how to use
any tools needed to complete
tasks within the course.
How to use
People learn better from a
multimedia lesson when they know
the names and characteristics of the
main concepts.

Some examples include textbook
lessons presented on paper,
slideshow presentations presented
face-to-face, captioned video
presented via computer, or
educational games and simulations
presented on hand-held devices.
How to use
People learn better from words and
pictures than from words alone,
words (such as spoken text or
printed text), and graphic (such as
illustrations, charts, photos,
animation, or video).

THE MULTIMEDIA PRINCIPLES
Multimedia
Principles
15
Contiguity
Principle
07
o You should keep all related text
and graphics physically close
together in your frame.
o If you’re introducing a new
process, the animation (or visual)
should be occurring at the same
time as the voiceover audio.
How to use
People learn better when:
o Relevant text and visuals are
physically close together.
o Corresponding words and visuals
are presented together, instead
of in consecutive order.
Definition

Principles

Coherence
Principle
08
As you’re planning your visual
elements, ask yourself:
o Is this image 100% necessary to
help with comprehension?
o Does this message use simple
enough language so the audience
will understand?
How to use
People learn better when
extraneous words, pictures and
sounds are excluded rather than
included.
Definition
Richard E. Mayer University of California, Santa Barbara
THE MULTIMEDIA PRINCIPLES
Multimedia
Principles
17
Modality
Principle
09
o Try to limit the amount of text you
use on screen overall.
o Rely more on visuals, unless you
need to define key terms, list
steps, or provide directions.
How to use
People learn better from graphics
and narration than graphics and
printed text

Segmenting
Principle
10
This principle also suggests:
o Learning is broken up into smaller,
bite-sized chunks.
o Make sure that no one lesson,
slide, or video has too much
information packed in it.
How to use
People learn better from a
multimedia lesson is presented in
user-paced segments rather than as
a continuous unit.
