Week 1: Introducing Multimedia [Oct. 9, 2011, 4:58 p.m.]


Outline

  • Multimedia is presenting both pictures and words
  • People learn better from words and pictures than from words alone
  • Dual Channel: humans have two different processing channels for visual and auditory materials
  • Limited Capacity: learners have a limited capacity for processing information from each channel
  • Active Processing: learners must actively engage in the process of learning by selecting and organizing information, then integrate it with prior learning. Active processing results in deeper learning
