In this episode, Adam reviews Dr. Richard E. Mayer’s 12 Principles for Multimedia Learning in our Instructional Design 101 series. Dr. Mayer's research focus is determining how people learn (i.e., the science of learning) and how to help people learn (i.e., the science of instruction). His research concerns the intersection of cognition, instruction, and technology. Here we will apply Mayer’s 12 research-based principles - around the cognitive theory of multimedia learning - as they relate to the design of online instruction.
You’ll hear a little bit about each of Mayer’s 12 Principles, from not overwhelming the learner’s
‘Cognitive load’, to the best combinations of text, audio, and images, to personalizing voices and imagery for the learner.
