Multimedia Learning Principles #126: Challenge | Recap

Challenge of the Week

This week, your challenge is to design an interaction to teach one of the principles of multimedia learning.

You can leverage ideas from previous challenges (tabs, quizzes, games, sliders, comparisons, etc.) as a starting point for your interaction.

Resources

There are hundreds of good resources available. Pinterest, YouTube, Vimeo, and Google will help you find everything you need to know about Richard Mayer and his Multimedia Learning Principles.

Here are a few resources to help you get started:

    Happy Thursday everyone. Looking forward to viewing your entries. Here's mine - I've illustrated 4 of the principles; each screen has a slider that allows the learner to view content that conforms, or doesn't conform with the stated principle. Also used markers that the learner can hover over, to get a reminder of the principle itself if needed. Hope you like - feedback appreciated.

      Very nice Brenda, Cool idea using the slider in a kind of do/don't interaction.

        Thanks Dan.

        I learned something new ...you can't add a slider on a layer (at least it didn't appear to be the case); hadn't attempted it before. So I wound up having to trigger state changes of all of the "conforming" graphics and the red slider to fake a layer.

        And I liked your illustration of the redundancy principle (way at the top of this thread). Will put specific f/b up there!

      Nice Linda! Don't you just love "chunking". Love that word.

      Great work Linda! You perfectly implemented the segmenting principle. :)

      Thanks for the feedback, Linda. Great illustration of the segmenting principle. I really like the circular coloured 1-2-3-4 step buttons on the line to navigate - an elegant interaction.
      Amazing how my stress level goes way up with a volume of unbroken text!!

        Thanks Brenda. I have a similar response to too much text on a slide PowerPoint or eLearning. It makes me want to run out of the room screaming. That causes a lot of disruption during meetings. :)

    Huh. So here I come to whine about JUST getting my book, and now you're doing a Challenge on it already. BUT it's not even mentioned anywhere here yet??

    Allright then... Just last month, a 4th ed. of the fabulous e-Learning and the Science of Instruction by Ruth Colvin Clark & RICHARD MAYER , was released. Among update and new chapters, it includes evidence-based information on the Principles (4. Multimedia; 5. Contiguity; 6. Modality; 7. Redundancy; 8. Coherence; 9. Personalization & Embodiment; 10. Segmenting & Pretraining.) : http://www.amazon.com/dp/1119158664/

    To be honest, I haven't read the 4th ed. yet, and the last time I DID read it was the 2nd ed. But between this and William Horton's e-Learning By Design, they were my co-bibles when I was getting into eLearning (or e-learning or E-Learning) .

    As a matter of fact you can find the 3rd edition via : http://formulasi.googlecode.com/files/e-Learning.pdf to see if it may be worth your while to check out.

    HTH!

    I've attached a Link to a brief overview of CTML. Unfortunately the source file was corrupted so I cannot provide a .story file as well as having to recreate the source all over again. I'm aware that some of the hot spots do not hide correctly but see above for rationale.
