Advanced Organizers

Advanced organizers are cognitive tools that help learners to connect new information with their existing knowledge structures. In multimedia learning, advanced organizers are particularly useful in the following situations: 

1. Preparing for new content

2. Complex or unfamiliar topics 

3. Structuring information 

4. Supporting problem-solving 

5. Facilitating information retrieval 

In summary, advanced organizers in multimedia learning serve to prime learners' cognitive processes, enhance comprehension, and provide a structure for organizing and integrating new information. They can be especially valuable when dealing with complex, unfamiliar, or information-rich content.
