Paper Abstract:
|
While it has been claimed that multimedia learning environments consisting of multiple, dynamic and interactive representations have the potential to improve learning in different ways, the literature has not always succeeded in providing explicit or decisive conclusions with relation to the impact that multimedia technology has on the learning process. One of the problems with multimedia learning design and research until recently was that it failed to recognize a broader range of parameters that could play a positive role in the design of effective multimedia environments. A trend is currently being attempted in the multimedia learning technology field to examine the impact of certain additional and potentially significant parameters. Beginning with established theories of multimedia learning such as the Cognitive Load Theory and the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning, we have attempted to provide a broader framework that more explicitly takes account of several of these parameters. The parameters included in the design discussed in this paper are the knowledge level of the learner, the manipulation of intrinsic cognitive load, the support provided by the multimedia learning environment, and the active cognitive processing encouraged of learners by the environment. |
