Your game was interesting and made me interested in watching your video. The multimedia principle you analyzed is correct, but I think adding some sound to the game video could make it more interesting for the viewer. I agree with you that a video without words would be more profound to the mind. Usually, I don’t look at the rules of the game when I play it. I prefer to explore how to play on my own. Just like learning, some students prefer to go for the self-exploration method of learning because it makes them more accomplished and more efficient in learning.

In your h5p video, there are interactive questions, I think it would be better if you could enlarge your questions a bit. Because I was so focused on the game while watching the video that I didn’t reflect on the video’s problem when the video was paused.

You did a nice work on your blog!

You analyzed the TED video from multiple perspectives and saw that you had a good grasp of the knowledge in this lesson. In fact, I don’t have a very clear grasp of cognitive coding theory. After reading your analysis I have a deeper insight into cognitive coding theory. Your analysis of each perspective is very clear and does not make it difficult to understand. I think the signaling principle is very important. In the videos, Reshma often punctuates the topic, reminding the audience of the central argument of the presentation from time to time. This is very helpful to the audience. Similarly in the learning process, learners need signals from the teacher to help with understanding. The Worked Examples Principle is a multimedia principle that I have not applied before, and her presentation is indeed a good example of the Worked Examples Principle.

I wonder if you could show what other multimedia principles are used in this video.

Nice work on your blog!

Your coherence principle and segmenting principle are clearly explained. I agree with your segmenting principle, and I explained how the segmenting principle is applied in my twine story. But I didn’t realize the coherence principle, and after seeing your analysis I am sure that twine also uses the coherence principle. Your Twine story is interesting in that it has different outcomes depending on the choices made. If Twine stories can be used in the classroom, the learning process will be great.

I wonder if maybe you could describe more in your Twine story.

Overall, you did a great job on your Twine story!

I really liked your explanation of the dual coding theory. And I also liked the PowerPoint you showed of your own learning experience using dual coding theory. These three pictures clearly show the importance of images in learning. I think you’ve gone into great detail about the potential benefits and drawbacks. It made it seem clear to me at a glance.

I wonder if it would be possible to show the general use of the Hypothesis.

Nice work! Especially the pictures you show are very interesting. 🙂

Your videos are wonderful. I like the way you used the Signaling Principle in the video. This way the critical information is highlighted so that students can grasp the point more quickly. You also mentioned the feedback principle, an element that does allow for good feedback in learning. I think you have a very good grasp of the multimedia element.

I wonder if you could have some examples that don’t conform to multimedia learning principles？

Good job! I didn’t realize before that this video had a feedback principle and if I hadn’t read your blog I might have forgotten about it.

I really liked your multimedia teaching example. You show synchronous and asynchronous teaching through your own learning experience. Your blog is not long, but it makes me feel comfortable reading it. Every point of your article is very clear.

I wonder if synchronous and asynchronous could be explained in more detail. For example, how Brightspace uses asynchronous teaching.

All in all, I think this is a brilliant reflection on multimedia learning. 🙂
