One of the easiest ways to transfer knowledge from one person to another is through storytelling. Storytelling is a great tool because it keeps people engaged and requires them to recall what they have been told whether during a test or conversation.

The multimedia object that I decided to improve on was the Google Earth story. I decided to create another Google Earth story that presents the journey that I took from the Philippines to Canada. This Google Earth project presents some of the places that I believe to be an important part of my life because they are part of my journey here to Canada.

One of the multimedia principles that I decided to use is the segmenting principle. This principle states that people learn better when the information presented to them is cut into segments rather than one continuous stream. This is an important principle because it gives the learner a chance to control the pace at which they decide to learn. With my story, people can go back and forth between the slides. Another principle that is used in the project is the multimedia principle. This principle states that the learner will learn better from visuals and words than just visuals alone. Since most of the presentation is visuals accompanied by the names of the places that I have considered important, it is easy for the learner to recall the places in question. In regards to the cognitive learning theory, the transfer of knowledge is straightforward as the presentation is simple and straight to the point. Most of the slides are accompanied by a captured image that represents the place that I have just presented. The other multimedia principle that is present is the signaling principle. This principle essentially states that humans learn best when they are shown exactly what they have to pay attention to. For example, showing a slide that describes the upcoming location of the next slide gives the viewers context about what they are about to see. These principles allow the effortless transfer of knowledge to the learners.
