3. Ten Research Principles of Multimedia Learning: 1. Multimedia – People learn better from words and pictures than from words alone 2. Contiguity – People learn better when corresponding words and pictures are presented near rather than far from each other 3. Coherence – People learn better when extraneous words, pictures and sounds are excluded 4. Modality – People learn better from words and pictures when words are spoken 5. Redundancy – People learn better from animation and narration rather than animation, narration and on-screen text 6. Personalization – People learn better when words are presented in conversational style 7. Voice – People learn better from human voice 8. Signaling – People learn better when stresses are used 9. Interactivity – People learn better when they can control the pace of presentation 10. Pretraining – People learn better when they received pretraining

4. Design process: Goal Setting Positive reinforcement (verbalization – voice principle)

5.  Incorporate:  Rehearsal strategies for factual materials  Elaboration strategies for linking new information  Organizational strategies with visuals (multimedia and contiguity principle)

6. Adhere to Coherence Principle (People learn better when extraneous words, pictures and sounds are excluded) so that time is utilized efficiently for the student

7. Ideas to increase ease of access: Web based applications Minimal downloading Minimal system requirements
