The Split Attention Principle In Multimedia Learning
- 1. The Split-Attention Principle in Multimedia Learning By Jackie Borda http://goanimate.com/movie/09TV__kxWnVY?utm_source=linkshare&uid=0UiX0JZuuMVs
- 2. The Split-Attention Principle: “States that when designing instruction, including multimedia instruction, it is important to avoid formats that require learners to split their attention between, and mentally integrate, multiple sources of information.”
- 4. How could we make this better?
- 6. Why being aware of split-attention is important… “By eliminating the need to mentally integrate multiple sources of information, extraneous working memory load is reduced, freeing resources for learning.”
- 7. Spatial Contiguity Principle: “Students learn better when corresponding words and pictures are presented near rather than far from each other on the page or screen”
- 10. Temporal Contiguity Principle: “Students learn better when corresponding words and pictures are presented simultaneously rather than successively”
- 11. Activity:
- 13. Foot Bones: Phalanges Metatarsals Cuneiforms Cuboid Navicular Talus Calcaneous
- 15. A few things to remember: 1. “the principle only applies when multiple sources of information are unintelligible in isolation.” 2. “Split attention only applies to high element interactivity material.” Intrinsic load must be HIGH! 3. Learner characteristics must be taken into account to determine levels of cognitive load.
- 16. Questions 1. What is the Split-Attention Principle? 2. Why is it more likely that the Split-Attention Principle could occur with Multimedia learning? 3. How are Cognitive Load Theory and the Split-Attention Principle connected? 4. What is the 'spatial contiguity principle'? 5. What is the 'temporal contiguity principle'? 6. Give an example in your field where split-attention principle might come into play.
