Multimedia Communication
In this video, Iesha Small, Author, Consultant, and Innovation Leader interviews Leon Cych, Director of Learn for Life about making the presentation of new knowledge effective.
Leon shares how research evidence can make our design of materials to explain new concepts more effective. His thoughts will add to your clarity about the presentation of learning ahead of taking a look at the school case studies to accompany this week’s learning.
Key takeaways:
- Understanding dual coding can help us to explain concepts effectively for better learning retention
- Multimedia can help to reduce cognitive load of new learning where words and visuals are combined
- The Learning Scientists website is a useful resource for helping us to understand how we learn
