Audience - Educators, 7th-12th grade students, and parents are all encouraged to watch this instructional video. Our district is in the city proper. Many of our students solely rely on the free digital resources our school and state provide. The Destiny Follett digital catalog is new to our district. We have had it for almost two years. This year, I created "how-to" videos for my audience to refer to.

Theory-Driven Approach - The design principles I used in the creation of this instructional video were: the signaling principle, the spatial-contiguity principle, and the coherence principle. In the Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning, (Mayer et al., 2014), lays out how these design principles strengthen the instructional design of the lesson which helps the learner focus on the salient pieces of information that needs to be retained in their long-term memory and transferred to other learning tasks. The signaling, spatial-contiguity, and coherence principles I used are intended to minimalize the extraneous material presented that could cause extraneous cognitive load (2014) and also maximize the essential cognitive load which will lead to germane cognitive load.
