Assignment 3: Core Multimedia Skills

February 28, 2021 / / 0 Comments

H5p video is the one I decided to update. Although I did not submit H5P for assignment 2, reviewing others’ H5P videos gave me a idea about what I need to improve.

Based on Multimedia Learning Principles, I started to evaluate my video. The first thing I improved was the signaling principle. According to the principle, highlight important highlight enhances learner’s attention. Therefore I added the ‘auto-focus’  to my mouse. The second thing I improved was the coherence principle. In the questions I had before, I asked 2 irrelevant questions which will decrease learning and increase cognitive load.

Moreover, I added more questions to interact with learners. All of them are based on learning materials so learners will be more easier to focus. At the end of video, I added text boxes to encourage learners and make them have a sense of accomplishment.

I really enjoyed the first section about benefit of multimedia lesson plan. It is well organized and  gives me some new perspectives. I also likes how you related principles to the videos with embedded multiple-choice questions.

I am wondering if add more questions in the interactive video regarding the learning material would help readers to focus.

H5P Interactive Video: Powtoon

I really enjoyed when you talk about Dr.Ray’s video.  I totally agreed that the video is “lacked non-verbal representations”.  Another thing I like is the video you made. According to learning principles, the video did a good job with primacy because it  shows the processes step by step in clear and organized way.

I wonder if explain a bit more about how did you broke the Interactivity Principle would be more interesting for readers.

I really enjoyed that you talked about combination of pictures and words. As to my option, this is one of the most important factor to a good presentation. Moreover, I totally agree that split attention principle and the Signaling principle are important for presentations.

I wonder if talking a little bit more about “an example of a multimedia learning principle you have broken in the past” and how to prevent it happen again will be more beneficial  to readers.  Also I wonder if adding more explanations about why these principle matters to presentation will be more easier for readers to understand.

After complete this week’s topic, I realized there are both pros and cons about the video I made.

Pros:

  • Easy if use: The video is easy to use. The questions are clear and simple.
  • Interactions:  The multiple interactions between learners – learning materials and learners – teacher.

Cons:

  • Teaching functions: Lack of text.
  • Students: Assumed students have same level of skills. Did not provide explanation for students.

I choose to use SECTION framework because I feel SECTION are more specific about evaluating a learning tool. Also it is easier to understand.

As Dr.Ray mentioned from the beginning of the video, pictures/graphs are essential components for learning. A combination of words and graphs maximizes our learning ability. However, in the video there are only few pictures so I believe this is where Dr.Ray broke the rule.

Personally, I broke many rules in my past presentations. For instance, split attention principle is the one I broke most. In previous presentations, I always have related pictures which is good. However, I always put text beside the pictures instead of words.
