How do you design instruction? • Three demands on learner’s cognitive capacity during learning (Mayer, 2009, p. 80)
Multimedia instruction principles • Three main goals • Reduce extraneous processing • Manage essential processing • Foster generative processing • Twelve principles
Reducing Extraneous Processing (Mayer, 2009, p. 267)
Managing Essential Processing (Mayer, 2009, p. 268)
Fostering Generative Processing (Mayer, 2009, p. 268)
Conclusion • Multimedia- consists of words and pictures • Concern on developing research-based theory on how people learn with words and pictures • Three main goals of multimedia instruction • Twelve principles • Next steps • To continue research • What determines whether added material is relevant • Determine boundary conditions on principles
