I have made an update to the Google Earth Story. I have added a number of new locations to the original. And I have changed the original information box from a small one to a large one. I have changed the colours of the location icons. The purpose of separating the colors of the icons for the main and secondary locations of the Forbidden City is to make it easier for the reader to accurately determine the importance of the location. In accordance with the signaling principle, I have bolded or italicized the important parts of the brief description of the location. The Spatial Contiguity Principle and the Temporal Contiguity Principle are already used in the Google Earth Story. Also, based on the Dual Coding theory, the images and text appear together to enhance the reader’s impression.

For this improvement, Google Earth Story has been made even better. Readers will learn more effectively about this time.

I have made an update to the h5p screencast video. The principles of Signaling are more important in learning the principles as signaling gives students an idea of the focus of learning. So I have added more detailed tips to the video. This makes the video clearer for learners. There is also a summary of the results after the two multiple choice questions in the video, which is a good incentive for the students to engage with the video. There is also a multiple choice question at the end of the video, which is a summary of the lesson. For learners, a lesson is a failure if they don’t know the point of the lesson at the end.

Based on multimedia principles of learning, video updates allow learners to increase their motivation to learn. The video mainly uses the signaling principle, which not only allows students to complete their work based on the video, but also to understand the focus of the video. Similarly, the video uses the principle of feedback and learners can do self-testing based on the questions. It allows them to understand for themselves whether the lesson has been mastered or not. All of this is based on the increased knowledge transfer of multimedia learning.
