Voice Principle:
People learn better when words are spoken in a non-accented human voice than in a machine voice or accented voice.
Seems that the question of accent is dependent on who the listener is. Non-accented to one user is quite likely to be accented to another.
Of course there is always "Received pronunciation" (RP) but how does that fit with the conversational style required by principle 6?
Again - who is your target audience?
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.

I think it would be better to say people learn better when the voice is in their native tongue rather than with an accented one.
