I developed a simple interactive compilation of Mayer's Multimedia Learning Principles. I chose to develop interactive media because it would help the learners learn about Multimedia Learning Principles at their own pace.

I made the interactive media with Genial.ly and I also used Microsoft PowerPoint to create the storyboard and Adobe Photoshop to edit the pictures.

After interacting with this interactive media, learners will be able to:

1. Identify the concept of Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning.

2. Analyze the multimedia learning principles.

3. Evaluate the positive and negative examples of multimedia learning principles implementation.

4. Explain the implication of the concepts in learning design.

5. Connect previously learned concepts with new concepts they will learn.

This artifact is designed by following these theories and principles:

1. Information Processing Theory: the artifact is chunked into smaller parts to help learners focus on processing each part.

2. Schema Theory: the artifact uses several previously learned concepts to strengthen recall.

3. Cognitive Load Theory: the artifact was developed with careful consideration of the human mind's limited capacity.

4. Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning - Multimedia Principle: the artifact uses both verbal and visual elements to explain the concepts.

5. Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning - Coherence Principle: the artifact uses a simple design and concept relevant to the message.

6. Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning - Signaling Principle: the artifact uses graphic and visual emphasis and cues to highlight important parts.

7. Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning - Spatial Contiguity Principle: the artifact puts the visual and its corresponding explanation close to each other.

8. Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning - Segmenting Principle: the artifact presents the concepts in a segmented manner to not burden learners' cognitive load.

9. Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning - Personalization Principle: the artifact features a learning agent explaining the concepts in first-person and conversational language.
