Multimedia Learning
Multimedia Learning refers to the educational approach that combines various forms of media, such as text, images, audio, and video, to enhance the learning experience. This method leverages the strengths of different media to engage learners and improve understanding and retention of information. By presenting content in multiple formats, it caters to diverse learning styles and preferences.
Research in Cognitive Psychology supports the effectiveness of multimedia learning, suggesting that it can lead to better comprehension and memory retention. The Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning, developed by Richard Mayer, emphasizes the importance of integrating verbal and visual information to create meaningful learning experiences.
