Designing Multimedia Instruction to Maximize Learning - Dr. Richard E. Mayer Lecture

Multimedia supplements our instruction in many teaching contexts, whether we use PowerPoint during a face-to-face lecture, a computer-animated game to help students understand an abstract concept, short video lectures in an online course, or graphics in a textbook. In this talk, Dr. Richard Mayer will provide a concise overview of his cognitive theory of multimedia learning, and share evidence-based principles to design learning materials that are in alignment with how students learn and process information.

Thank you for making this available. I am taking classes with a teacher whose only mode of teaching is having us read the textbook. I have learning difficulties, so reading for understanding is tough for me. Having him explain the information has been a blessing. I pray that I can find more information to help me learn his material. Again, thank you.

Interesting theory, however Mayer is not using his own theory in his slides. There is too much information on one slide related to the narrative. Should we listen or should we read? Some slides are also way to small to read... Very helpful though for instructional design.
