Examples

In 2006 Richard E Mayer set out "Ten Principles for Multimedia Learning" based on his research at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

This blog gives you the opportunity to agree or not with Mayer's ten principles.

To start with look at a few example educational pages,do they totally support support Mayer's principles? or are there any snags?Try a few examples from multimedia educational sites around the web. Do they support Mayer's principles - or not?

Keep the ten principles in mind as you surf - add your own examples that support one or more of Mayer's principles.

Found a site you think proves or disproves a principle?
Think the principle drives a coach and horses through the principles of good web design?
Post your comment on any of the examples here and tell the world why.

Interactivity Principle:
People learn better when they can control the pace of presentation than when they receive continuous presentation.

Too much to take in? Let learners set the pace by using short sections, pages that they dont have to scroll through but can read one one (or not much more) screen.
Use short videos and sound clips.
Use animations the user can control.
