1. The Instructional Systems Program at Florida State University Presents: Multimedia Principles:A Primer

2. Multimedia Principles:A Primer Lesson Intro Start Lesson Play the Game

3. Introduction Kem Siddons Start

4. Lesson Objectives • During this lesson, you will: • Be introduced to Mayer’s Multimedia Principles • Define the Coherence Principle • Experience violations of the Coherence Principle • See how to apply the Coherence Principle • Test your knowledge in a game format

5. Instructions • This lesson is presented in PowerPoint and utilizes the following: • Action Buttons (AB) dictate the flow of the presentation • AB’s with arrows indicate going to the next slide (=>) or back one slide (<=) • The AB with the figure of a house restarts the lesson from the beginning • Avoid hitting the space bar or clicking areas outside of AB’s as this will advance lesson out of order

6. The Multimedia Principles Developed by Richard Mayer The contiguity principle: placing text near graphics improves learning The multimedia principle: Adding graphics to words can improve learning The modality principle: explaining graphics with audio improves learning Six principles for integrating multimedia effectively into instruction

7. The Multimedia Principles The redundancy principle: explaining graphics with audio and redundant text can hurt learning The coherence principle: using gratuitous visuals, text, and sounds can hurt learning The personalization principle: Use conversational tone and pedagogical agents to increase learning

8. The Coherence Principle Now we’ll study the Coherence Principle in more detail . . . .on the next slide you’ll watch a video explaining the principle and its use. When you want to stop the video, click anywhere on the screen; click again to restart.
