Multimedia learning Mayer , multimedia principles and Cognitive Load (Week 3- 12.03.2020)

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 efficiently if they already know some of the basics. This often means understanding basic definitions, terms, or concepts before beginning the learning experience. 

This principle help to manage Intrinsic Load.

9. The Multimedia Principle
The Multimedia Principle states that humans learn best from words and pictures than just words alone. This principle is sort of the foundation of all Mayer’s principles, that images and words are more effective than words alone.
Teachers can include images to illustrate key points and ensure that all images enhance or clarify meaning (rather than being purely decorative). Additionally instructors can favor static images over animations (with some exceptions). 

This Principle helps to optimize Germane Load.

10. The Personalization Principle
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.

11. The Voice Principle
The Voice Principle states that humans learn best from a human voice than a computer voice. While Siri and Alexa are getting pretty close, there is no substitution for a human voice. Instructors can include narration that’s performed by a human rather than a computer to apply this principle.

12. The Image Principle
The Image Principle states that humans do not necessarily learn better from a talking head video. Talking head videos are incredibly common in eLearning courses and MOOCs. Instructors can consider including their face when either there are no words or pictures, or when they wish to establish instructor or social presence.

Multimedia Principles -Cognitive Load Theory- (Week 1- 27.02.2020)

Image
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...

Multimedia learning Mayer , multimedia principles (Week 2- 5.03.2020)

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...

Game Based Learning (Week 9- 30.04.2020)

Image
Game Based Learning Games can be used as a support tool to complement traditional teaching methods to improve the learning experience of the learners while also teaching other skills such as following rules, adaptation, problem solving, interaction, critical thinking skills, creativity, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. What is Game Design? Game design is the use of creativity and design to develop a game for entertainment or educational purposes. It involves creating compelling stories, characters, goals, rules and challenges that drive interactions with other characters, users or objects.  ¡   Game based learning  (GBL) is defined as learning through games (Prensky). ¡   It has type of  gameplay that has defined  learning outcomes . ¡   The core concept behind  game - based learning  is teaching through repetition, failure and the accomplishment of goals which redefines en...
