Make easy with multimedia learning
In this week, we have learned five principles for reducing extraneous processing, there is the coherence principle which means students can learn better if a multimedia lesson has closely related topics, signaling principle means people will focus an important part of the lesson if that part was highlighting, and redundancy principle means people learn better from animation, they easily understand what is teacher want to tell him about lesson topics. Less two topics are the spatial contiguity principle, and temporal contiguity principle, first principle means when the picture and text with close space, people can understand better the text from picture, the second principle means when the same topics show up at the same time, people will not forget the information in the past times.
In the second part of this week’s blog, we learned what is flow theory, if you forget sometimes in some moments, that is flow theory. For example, if you have homework done tomorrow, and you telling yourself, I need to sleep early and finish that homework tomorrow, but after you watched a movie, you will be surprised, it is already 2 pm, time pass so fast. So teachers also need flow theory to design their lesson, they need to make sure students feel interested in learning, and students will focus us detail, then will fall into the flow theory, and use these skill in the real world.
Flow theory helps us know why sometimes we feel learning is boring because we did not give us good feedback, why the most people like watched a short video because they give us good feedback in very short times. when we are learning, good feedback will help us easily get into hear flow.
