Best Practices using principles for multimedia learning

This is very interesting.  I would be interested in seeing the paper if possible.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Amy,

This is a really great resource, especially since I am fairly new to ID. I really liked how your source is clearly cited on each topic. 

In lieu of your long research paper, I was wondering if you could recommend one or two books/resources that you found the most helpful for discovering these e-learning practices.

Nice work, Amy. You did a wonderful job of simplifying best practices.

One quick note:  There's a typo in the Spatial Contiguity text. It currently says "...when related words are pictures are arranged ..." I assume you meant "words and pictures." :-)

Hi John,

Thanks for your interest. My paper is attached. I am still working on adding screenshots and formatting it for APA, but the content is all there.

Oh goodness! Thank you, I will work on getting that fixed!

Hi Natalie,

Thanks for your interest. I recommend the following:

Smith, P. L. & Ragan, T. J. (2005). Instructional Design (3rd. Ed.), Hoboken, N.J: Wiley

Mayer, R. E. (2014). Introduction to multimedia learning. In R. E. Mayer (Ed.), The Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning (pp. 1-24). New York, NY: Cambridge University Press.

Fiorella, L., & Mayer, R. E. (2014). Principles for reducing extraneous processing in multimedia learning: Coherence, Signaling, Redundancy, Spatial Contiguity, and Temporal Contiguity principles. In R. E. Mayer (Ed.), The Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning (pp. 279-315). New York, NY: Cambridge University Press.

Also, I didn't use this book for my project, but Design For How People Learn by Julie Dirksen is a really good resource, too.
