Cognitive Theory and the Design of Multimedia Instruction
William R. Robinson
Department of Chemistry, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907
Cover
January 2004
Vol. 81 No. 1
p. 10
Abstract
How should we design multimedia instructional messages in order to promote deep understanding in learners? This is the leading question from the research program described in Richard Mayer's article "Cognitive Theory and the Design of Multimedia Instruction: An Example of the Two-Way Street Between Cognition and Instruction" (Mayer, R. E.; New Directions for Teaching and Learning 2002, 89 [Spring] 55-71). Eight principles for the design of effective multimedia have been derived from that program and are described in the article.
