20. Multimedia Principles
Question: Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning.
Ans: The cognitive theory of multimedia learning presents principles to guide designers of multimedia and e-learning in the presentation of textual, graphical, video and audio information for optimal learning. Each principle is backed by research comparing different multimedia learning conditions to determine which results in better student learning (Clark & Mayer, 2011)

21. Multimedia Principles
Question: Multimedia Principle
Ans: The Multimedia principle is a theory studied in depth by Richard Mayer that states words and graphics are more conducive to learning, rather than just text or graphics alone.  The theory is based on the idea that learners learn better when they engage in relevant cognitive pressing such as attending to the relevant material in the lesson, mentally organizing the material into a coherent cognitive representation and mentally integrating the material with their existing knowledge.(Mayer 154) His study also shows that learners may engage in less in-depth learning with just text alone, not connecting what they have read with new or prior knowledge.

22. Multimedia Principles
Question: Multimedia Principle
Ans: Studies have shown that their are two main channels that we use to process information, the auditory and visual channel.  The auditory channel processes sounds that we hear while the visual channel processes things that we see.  By combining these two process studies have shown that learners, learning will be more in depth and stay in the learners memory longer.  Their studies have also shown that to many visuals or to much text can overload the learner so their needs to be a balance between the two and they should always relate so they do not confuse the learners learning process.

23. Multimedia Principles
Question: Multimedia Principle
Ans: Graphics can be anything from static pictures, to animation, or video, but they should always be relevant to the the words on the page.    
Types of graphics:
Decorative Graphics 
Representational graphics
Relational graphics
Organizational graphics
Interpretive graphics

24. Multimedia Principles
Question: Contiguity Principle
Ans: Align words to corresponding graphics
Simply stated, the contiguity principle is "align words to corresponding graphics" (Clark & Mayer, 2011). This means that a graphic that is the major subject of text should not be physically separated from the text. The contiguity principle as stated implies that just words need to be aligned, however audio should also be aligned temporally with graphics that correspond with the audio. One example is that when a graphic includes a diagram which has parts indicated by text, the text should be physically near the corresponding parts of the diagram (Clark & Mayer, 2011).

25. Multimedia Principles
Question: Modality Principle
Ans: Generally speaking, the modality principle is “present words as speech rather than on-screen text (Clark & Mayer, 2011)”. Learners will learn better when new information is explained by audio narration than on-screen text, especially when the graphic is complex, the words is familiar, and the lesson is fast-paced. It’s important to note that the modality principle is strongest when the material is complex for the learner (Tindall-Ford, Chandler, &Sweller, 1997) and when the pace is fast and not under learner control (Tabbers, Martens, &van Merrienboer, 2004).

26. Multimedia Principles
Question: Redundancy Principle
Ans: We can see many multimedia-learning scenarios have simultaneous text and audio in our lives. The redundancy principle states that learners can learn better just with animation and narration. The visual text information, which is presented simultaneously to the verbal information, becomes a redundant material. Eliminating redundant material, avoiding narration and "identical" text will be a good way to let learners learn well. The basic reason is people can't focus when they both hear and see the same verbal message during a presentation (Hoffman, 2006).

27. Multimedia Principles
Question: Coherence Principle
Ans: "Students learn better when extraneous material is excluded rather than included." 
The three Coherence Principles which instruction designers should follow:  
1. Avoid e-lessons with Extraneous Audio:    
2. Avoid e-lessons with Extraneous Graphocs: 
3. Avoid e-lessons with Extraneous words:

28. Multimedia Principles
Question: Personalization Principle
Ans: The Personalization Principle states “use conversational style and virtual coaches” (Clark & Mayer, 2011). The personalization principle in particular is based on engaging the learner by delivering content in a conversational tone to increase learning. Clark and Mayer (2011) also found that the use of pedagogical agents can help focus learner attention.

29. Multimedia Principles
Question: Segmenting Principle
Ans: Segmenting is a very simple principle as the only thing to it is that you are breaking down the large segments into smaller segments. The detailed term that is commonly used with the segmenting of information is breaking everything down into bite-size segments. That way complex lesson’s are broken into smaller parts, which are presented one at a time (Clark & Mayer 2011).

30. Multimedia Principles
Question: S Pre-training Principle
Ans: Ensure that Learners Know the Name and Characteristics of Key Concepts
Generally speaking, the pretraining principle is the users "know the name and characteristics of Key concepts "(Ruth Colvin Clark, Richard E. Mayer,e-learning and the Science of instruction,P212) before they learn something . "The pretraining principle is relevant in situations when trying to process the essential material in the lesson would overwhelm the learner’s cognitive system. In these situations involving complex material, it is helpful if some of the processing can be done in advance"(Ruth Colvin Clark, Richard E. Mayer,e-learning and the Science of instruction,P214).
