This discussion focuses on the impact of visuals in multimedia learning environments, emphasizing the Multimedia Principle which advocates for using words and graphics together to promote active learning. Key concepts include the importance of contiguity, which refers to the effective placement of text and graphics to support understanding. Various graphic types (decorative, representational, transformational) and their instructional applications are explored. Participants will engage in activities to create effective multimedia presentations, considering both static and dynamic content to enhance learning outcomes.
