Principles+that+promote+learning



==1. The Multimedia Principle promotes learning through the use of visuals/graphics. It is recommended that the creators of e-learning instruction incorporate more transformational graphics which help the learner understand the material and interpretive graphics rather than decorative or representational that simply decorate the page with pictures of what the information is about.==



==2. The Modality Principle promotes learning by offering an audio version of the text to present content and describe visuals. The psychological advantage of using audio results from the incoming information being split across two separate cognitive channels—words in the auditory channel and pictures in the visual channel—rather than concentrating both words and pictures in the visual channel.==



==3. The Personalization Principle promotes learning through an informal conversation style rather than a formal conversation style. Although we are all aware that a computer can not talk to us by referring to the user as "you" or "I", there is strong evidence that in conjunction with personalization training and segmentation learners gained more than those who participated in formal type conversational training.==



==4. The Segmentation and Pretraining Principle promotes learning because the training focuses on breaking down instruction into parts so that the learner can comprehend information one step at a time. This is especially important for e-learning when students are learning at a fast pace.==
