The Five Trends in Multimedia Learning Artificial Intelligence AI covers a wide range of applications in education and technical training, but is most widely used in two contexts: the creation of personalised learning paths (adaptive learning) and learning analytics. Flexible Learning Environments/Hybrid Learning Spaces Because of the impact during the new crown epidemic, we have…

During my time as a student, I encountered a lot of passive learning, especially some science subjects, including math, physics, biology, etc. It may be because in China, teachers tend to export knowledge, while students need to listen and absorb knowledge. In Chinese and English classes, active learning is sometimes used. Teachers will ask students…

This week we have been studying Constructive Alignment and Backward Design and Merrill’s Five Principles of Instruction.

This week, we learned another three of Mayer’s principles from the point of view of managing intrinsic cognitive load, and also trying a new things, sketchnoting, to represent an idea and concept. The intrinsic load is the challenge that naturally occurs whenever you are learning a new task. For example, when I am reading an…

This week, we learned Dual Coding Theory, four Mayer’s principles to reduce extraneous cognitive load in multimedia learning, and how to integrate screencast into our learning materials. After reading this week’s study materials, I realized that visual stimuli help learners increase their memory with greater intensity during the learning process than textual content, which is…

What made me decide to take this course? This is not my first time to take EDCI course, but this is my first try to take course about Interactive media and use WordPress as a new system to share my blog. I wanted to take this course to learn more about multimedia and explore types…
