  1. Multimedia Design Principles

  2. Multiple Representation Principle: • It’s better to present an explanation in words and pictures than solely in words. • E.g. use 2 modes of representation rather than 1. (Visual & Verbal) • Examples?

  3. Contiguity Principle • When giving a multimedia explanation, present corresponding words and pictures contiguously rather than separately. • E.g. present relevant visual & verbal information together. • Examples?

  4. Split-Attention Principle • When giving a multimedia explanation, present words as auditory narration rather than as visual on-screen text • E.g. narration is processed through verbal information processing system, and animation/picture is processed through visual information system. • Examples?

  5. Individual Differences • The foregoing principles are more important for low-knowledge than high-knowledge learners, and for high-spatial rather than low-spatial learners. • E.g. students with prior knowledge may generate their own mental images. • Examples?

  6. Coherence Principle • When giving a multimedia explanation, use few rather than many extraneous words and pictures. • Avoid using unnecessary texts, graphics or sound only for decoration or to make things more interesting. • E.g. redundancy effects. • Examples?
