Multimedia for e-Learning

The Multimedia Principles, developed by Richard Mayer, outline guidelines for effective multimedia inclusion in e-learning. These principles are crucial for learning because they optimize how learners engage with instructional materials, enhancing comprehension, retention, and transfer of knowledge.

The Multimedia Principles are covered in three courses:

  • Essential Learning: Focusing on Key Elements
  • Efficient Learning: Minimizing Mental Strain
  • Generative Learning: Promoting In-depth Understanding

This foundational course sequence is especially relevant to Instructional Designers, UX Designers, and Developers who craft e-learning experiences.
