The cognitive theory of multimedia learning (Mayer, 2021, 2022), which seeks to explain how people learn academic material from words and graphics, has developed over the past four decades. Although the name and graphical representation of the theory have evolved over the years, the core ideas have been constant--dual channels (i.e., humans have…

This study aims to create a Genially based interactive multimedia product to increase interest in learning civics among fifth-grade students. This research and development type uses the analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) model. This study used three samples in the one-to-one stage, six in the small group stage, and 26 in the…

Research has shown ways in which digital multimodal composing (DMC), defined as the use of digital tools to make meaning with multiple modes (e.g. languages, visuals, sounds, gestures), including video production, can empower adolescent newcomers from refugee backgrounds in school settings. However, few studies have examined teachers' challenges…

In this study, temporal speech cues were integrated into online curriculum to solve non-routine problems in curricular multimedia. Teachers-in-training (n=56) were randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions. It was expected that participants in the temporal speech cues condition would be more likely to solve problems than those in the…

The present research conducted two experiments with an intelligent tutoring system to investigate the overall and dynamic impact of emotional support from a pedagogical agent (PA). In Experiment 1, a single factor intergroup design was used to explore the impact of PA's emotional support (supportive vs. non-supportive) on learners' emotions,…

Recently, the option to use large language models as a middleware connecting various AI tools and other large language models led to the development of so-called large multimodal foundation models, which have the power to process spoken text, music, images and videos. In this overview, we explain a new set of opportunities and challenges that…

Cognitive load theory's incorporation of evolutionary perspectives suggests biologically primary knowledge, acquired through evolutionary processes, can support students in learning biologically secondary knowledge, the focus of typical educational curricula. Touch-based interactions using the hands are likely to be biologically primary. The…

Metaverse has evolved as one of the popular research agenda that let users learn, socialize, and collaborate in a networked 3-D immersive virtual world. Due to the rich multimedia streaming capability and immersive user experience with high-speed communication, the metaverse is an ideal model for education, training, and skill development tasks.…

This study aims to conduct a systematic review of studies on neuroimaging measurements used in multimedia learning research. The particular aim of the review is to explore how cognitive processes in multimedia learning are studied with relevant variables through neuroimaging technology. Studies that met the inclusive criteria were selected and…

The rapid development of technology in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 has made it necessary for students to master technology and have data literacy and technology literacy skills. However, initial studies show that the data and technology literacy of grade XI high school students is still relatively low. This study aimed to investigate the…

Positive emotional design has been shown to have an important impact on multimedia learning. However, before learning multimedia materials, students may inevitably be stressed by external factors such as learning uncertainties brought about by COVID-19, that can affect their final performance. Moreover, whether the principles of emotional design…

This study sought to explore math and science teacher educators' use of various media to represent practice within methods courses. There is little understanding of why certain media is used over other representations and the rationale for these choices. Specifically, the study focused on the prevalence and familiarity of teacher educators with…

This study examines an aspect of the role of emotion in multimedia learning, i.e., whether participants can recognize the instructor's positive or negative emotion based on hearing short clips involving only the instructor's voice just as well as also seeing an embodied onscreen agent. Participants viewed 16 short video clips from a statistics…

This quantitative study examined the effects of stored color knowledge on learning achievement and cognitive load using a randomized pretest-posttest control group design. Social media was used to recruit 60 adult participants, randomized into control and experimental groups. A multimedia lesson was presented where the control group viewed images…

Distance education learning support service system is a two-way information exchange platform for teachers and students to communicate and learn, and it is based on modern multimedia information technology. With the construction of a learning society, people's distance learning service system is more widely used for reasons such as occupation or…
