  2. The Underground Railroad: Escape from Slavery The Underground Railraod: Escape from Slavery is a multimodal learning environment (MmLE) that was designed to teach students about slaves during the late 1800s on their journey to freedom. The MmLE is divided into 4 sections: On the Plantation, Escape, Reaching Safety, and Reaching Freedom. Each section has a passage and buttons that open up to an informational section, slideshow, or a small tab of facts.

  3. New York State Learning Standards for Social Studies Standard 1:  History of the United States and New York  Students will use a variety of intellectual skills to demonstrate  their understanding of major ideas, eras, themes, developments,  and turning points in the history of the United States and New York.

  5. Moreno & Mayer’s Interactive Multimodal Learning Environments Moreno and Mayer described five principles for the design of interactive multimodal learning environments in their article; two out of the five are contained in this MmLE. This MmLEhad features that were connected to the guided activity principle and pacing principle.

  6. Moreno & Mayer’s Guided Activity Principle The Guided Activity Principle allows students to “interact with a pedagogical agent who helps guide their cognitive processing” and “encourages essential and generative processing by prompting students to engage in the selection, organization, and integration of new information.” (Moreno, R. & Mayer, R., 2007, p. 316) In this MmLE, students are guided through four stages that slaves endure on their journey to freedom. At these stages, students have the opportunity of selecting various buttons that reveal different information about the stage.

  7. Moreno & Mayer’s Pacing Principle The Pacing Principle allows students to “control the pace of presentation of the instructional materials” and “reduces representational holding by allowing students to process smaller chunks of information in working memory.” (Moreno, R. & Mayer, R., 2007, p. 316) In this MmLEstudents can control their pace by using the “continue” button located on the bottom right of the simulation or go to another stage by clicking on the stage above the picture. This allows students to pause and navigate through the stage on their own pace. Students also have the option of clicking on the headphone button, which reads the information out loud.
