Multimedia in Learning

TLDR
A wide variety of media can be used in learning, including distance learning, such as print, lectures, conference sections, tutors, pictures, video, sound, and computers.
Abstract
A wide variety of media can be used in learning, including distance learning, such as print, lectures, conference sections, tutors, pictures, video, sound, and computers. Any one instance of distance learning will make choices among these media, perhaps using several.

Nine Ways to Reduce Cognitive Load in Multimedia Learning

TL;DR: The analysis shows that cognitive load is a central consideration in the design of multimedia instruction because it exceeds the learner's available cognitive capacity.
Book

Cognitive Load Theory

TL;DR: Cognitive load theory uses evolutionary theory to consider human cognitive architecture and uses that architecture to devise novel, instructional procedures to generate instructional procedures, summarized in this chapter.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Expertise Reversal Effect

TL;DR: The expertise reversal effect was initially predicted by cognitive load theory as a form of the redundancy effect (see Chapter 11) that occurs when information beneficial to novice learners becomes redundant to those more knowledgeable as mentioned in this paper.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

How video production affects student engagement: an empirical study of MOOC videos

TL;DR: The largest-scale study of video engagement to date is presented, using data from 6.9 million video watching sessions across four courses on the edX MOOC platform, finding that shorter videos are much more engaging, that informal talking-head videos are more engage, and that Khan-style tablet drawings are more engaging.
Journal ArticleDOI

The promise of multimedia learning: using the same instructional design methods across different media

TL;DR: A program of research is explored aimed at determining research-based principles for the design of multimedia explanations and the extent to which methods are effective across different learning environments—which can be called media.
