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.
