- 7. The DesignThe software should be designed to:help teachers apply principles for the design of multimedia materials and human cognitive processing. take advantage of the dual-channel structure of the human information processing system by means of text, pictures and audio.
- 8. The DesignThe software should be designed to:give learners a sense of interacting with the teacher while watching the lecture (social presence).reduce students’ cognitive load by helping them select, organize & integrate what’s important.
