In this blog post, Hsien-wen talks about the TEDtalk by Julian Treasure titled “How to speak so that people want to listen”. Hsien-wen talks about how the TEDTalk relates to the current topic we were learning about. They mention the use of dual coding theory as well as the signalling principle within the video. They explain that by using bolded text, the speaker is able to capture the attention of the audience. They also go on to talk about how the dual coding theory verifies the saying “practice makes perfect” through repeated repetition. I enjoyed how they included a personal exprerience because it helps the reader relate to the content .

I wonder if Hsien-wen could provide short explanations as to why they chose the sevens sins of speaking. Thanks for the great post.

In this blog post, Manny revisits his previous Screencastify recording to provide improvements on the multimedia objectives as well as more ways to interact with the video such as the inclusion of more multiple-choice questions. Manny used more multimedia learning principles in order to help improve the experience for the learner. They’ve also provided the learners with a hands-on activity that they can follow along and complete. This is a way for the learners to show and test their knowledge on the topic. This was a good read due to the fact that it was very easy to follow and the video provided was done well.

I wonder if Manny is able to arrange the blog into multiple paragraphs rather than just one big one. This could help guide the reader better. Overall this was a great read.

In this blog post, Kira talks about the importance of storytelling through an interactive story that they have produced. They mention the use of a multimedia learning principle such as the Personalization principle which aids in helping the learner with what they are trying to achieve by the use of the combination of text and photos. They provide a brief explanation that gets to the point as to why they used this certain multimedia learning principle. I enjoyed the simplicity of the blog post and it was very easy to understand and read.

I wonder if Kira could provide some visuals so that the reader can have a teaser about the story that they are about to embark on. Thank you for sharing.

Blog 3-Multimedia Design for Learning

In this blog post, Hsien-wen mentions that multimedia consists of multiple theories and learning principles.  I agree with this statement as it is what makes multimedia unique.  I like how they included the fact that it may be difficult to incorporate all the learning principles when taking into account the visually impaired. Their experience incorporating the redundancy principle using a PowerPoint and a short video provides strong points about how this principle served them well in prolonging the audience’s attention.  It was interesting to read about the struggles that they have faced with this principle and how overcoming it resulted in a better presentation.

I wonder if Hsien-wen could add audio alongside his video to further engage the audience.  Thanks for the great post Hsien-wen.

In this blog post, Kira identifies the principles that Dr.Ray Pastore did not follow in his MML principles video. A great explanation was given as to why the modality multimedia principle and the embodiment principle were not followed while also making a fair point on the ability of experts to accommodate everybody’s preferences. They also talk about how they used the signaling principle in their past PowerPoint project to provide their audience an easier way for them to understand and keep track of the presentation. By providing photos they are able to grab the attention of their readers.

I wonder if Kira could further explain the signaling principle and how it corresponds to the PowerPoint. This will give the audience a deeper understanding of the topic. Overall this was a great read.

In this blog post, Manny talks about the importance of creating a lesson plan as well as multimedia learning principles they would associate with the creation of a lesson plan. I enjoyed how he provided both a pro and a con about the preparation of a multimedia lesson plan. He also stresses the importance of knowing the relevancy of the topic at hand. His following paragraph about using the Segmenting principle and the Signalling principle when creating a multimedia lesson plan is comprehensive and well thought out. He provides the necessary explanations as to why they are useful while strengthening the arguments he is describing.

I wonder if Manny could give more detail to how the video they have provided corresponds to the topic. Thank you for sharing.
