Multimedia Learning Theory
Multimedia Learning Theory posits that people learn more effectively when information is presented through multiple formats, such as text, images, and audio. This approach leverages the brain's ability to process different types of information simultaneously, enhancing understanding and retention.
The theory is grounded in Cognitive Load Theory, which suggests that learning is optimized when cognitive resources are used efficiently. By integrating various media, learners can create mental connections, making it easier to grasp complex concepts and apply knowledge in real-world situations.
