DESIGNING INTEGRATED MEDIA ENVIRONMENT

Message Design  (Graphic and Text Design) Multimedia Learning can be defined as learning  that occurs when students build mental representations from words and pictures that are presented to them. Mayer defines Multimedia Learning as ‘presentation of material using both words ( spoken or printed ) and pictures ( illustrations , photos , animation , or video ) . Instructors   design messages that explore how various media and delivery systems might be used more effectively to help optimize  instructional  communications   within context specific  instructional  situations and learner needs. According to the multimedia learning theory there are 3 principles. 1.       The Dual Channels principle, states that our learners have two independent cognitive systems for processing visual and auditory information 2.       The Limited Capacity principle, states that our learners have limite...

Multimedia learning  Mayer , multimedia principles  and Cognitive Load Today I will talk about Mayer's  rest of the six  multimedia principles that I have mentioned last week. 7.The Temporal Contiguity Principle The Temporal Contiguity Principle states that  humans learn best when corresponding words and visuals are presented together, instead of in consecutive order. According to this principle, to maximize learning, narration and animation should be delivered concurrently. For example, students shouldn’t hear about a process and then watch an animation of it afterward; instead, instructors should time the narration to play along with the animation. But concerning boundary conditions, the temporal contiguity principle does not apply when the material is presented in small chunks. With this principle teachers can Minimize Extraneous Load   8. The Pre-Training Principle The Pre-training Principle states that  humans learn more ef...

Multimedia learning Mayer , multimedia principles   (Week 2- 5.03.2020) Mayer suggests 12 principles that help to structure multimedia learning experiences in order to maximize learner comprehension. Today I will mention six of them. 1. The Coherence Principle Accord  humans learn best when extraneous, distracting material is not included. For example while planning   visual elements we can reduce, simplify, and clarify. 2. The Signaling Principle This Principle states that humans learn best when they are shown exactly what to pay attention to on the screen.  Highlighting important words and using animated arrows to point out significant information are some of the easy ways to signal to the learner. 3. The Redundancy Principle This principle suggests that  humans learn best with narration and graphics, as opposed to narration, graphics, and text.  Instructor can include graphics or text, but not both together or if they are togethe...

M u l t i m e d i a Principles - Cognitive Load Theory According to Mayer and Moreno, the verbal (auditory) channel is responsible for processing music, sound accompanying video, and spoken words. The visual channel processes written text, animation, still images, and moving video images. This is an essential part of the   cognitive theory  of multimedia learning (CTML)  According to Cognitive Load Theory learning happens best under conditions that are aligned with human cognitive architecture. Basically this theory is related to how humans receive and process information. "Cognitive load" relates to the amount of information that working memory can hold at one time. Sweller said that, since working memory has a limited capacity, instructional methods should avoid overloading it with additional activities that don't directly contribute to learning. CLT identifies three categories of cognitive load: intrinsic, extraneous, and germane . Intrinsic load...
