Module+3+Design

In the course wiki you will be working with your classmates to locate and share PowerPoint presentations that exhibit two or more of the 10 principles by Mayer. Once you have located the PowerPoint presentation on SlideShare you will embed it on this Module 3 Page in the course wiki. Each entry should 1) clearly display the author of the PowerPoint, 2) Explain which principle is being demonstrated and how, and 3) Please post your initials next to your entry. You can separate your entries by inserting a horizontal line. (The icon with the blue bar in the wiki toolbar.) To embed a slideshare presentation just copy the embed code and click in the TV icon in the wiki toolbar. You can click on "Other html" then paste the embed code and click on Save.

 * What Is Instructional Design?**

Author: ejars Website: [|www.slideshare.net]

In this Slideshare presentation, the __task__ to be achieved is to convey to the viewers the meaning of instructional design. This video stays on target taking the viewer through a series of slides that effectively reduces extraneous processing as described by Mayer in the course reading. The first area addressed by Mayer and included in this presentation is to reduce extraneous material. This Slideshare includes short, concise text that explains the concept quickly and effectively. The second area explained by Mayer and included in this video is signaling. Each essential concept in this Slideshare is highlighted at the beginning of the presentation with a short highlighted or bold phrase or question introducing the basic concept to be understood. This presentation does an excellent __job__ of what Mayer coined as the "spatial contiguity principle" where explanatory words are posted next to the picture for better understanding and synthesis of the information.

Mayer defines one of two principles for fostering generative processing as the __application__ of the "multimedia principle." This means people learn better from pictures and words rather than just seeing and reading the words. This slide show does a wonderful __#|job__ of creating a visual representation such as a picture or graph for almost every text entry shown on the screen. This helps the viewer to create better connections in the brain by being shown both the verbal and pictorial representation of the subject area which studies have shown leads to deeper understanding. Finally, Mayer talks about the "personalization principle" where using a conversational style to the text helps to create a #|relationship between the viewer and presenter. If a relationship is formed, studies have shown that the viewer will try harder to understand the material being presented.

media type="custom" key="23128020" Author: Wesley Fryer Website: www.slideshare.net

In this Slideshare presentation, the author, Wesley Fryer, uses one of the five principles for reducing extraneous processing by providing a graphic illustration and a very short, brief text concerning the point he is about to narrate. The use of the coherence principle where he doesn't not include any extra text to make the main point of his narrative the focal point. By reading the short statement and listening to the narrative allows the viewer to be continually reminded about the point being made, He also seems to be using the redundancy principle in that the view learns better from animation and narration than from the two items coupled with on-screen text. Finally, Mr. Fryer also seems to be using the modality principle in that he uses graphics with spoken text rather than graphics with printed text. mt

Living Things and Nonliving Things media type="custom" key="23128304" Author: gmanb5 Principle: This powerpoint expresses and includes the coherence principle since there are no extra words, pictures or sounds that would be able to confuse the viewer. The inclusion of these times would hinder the learning of students and this example clearly shows only items that are necessary for the main focal point of the lesson to still shine through. I also feel as though this show follows the interactivity principle since the students and teacher can lead the conversation instead of the slideshow running itself continuously. BLM

7 Simple Things to Do Everyday media type="custom" key="23140390" Author: Alex Blackwell website: slideshare.net Principle: This powerpoint goes over the quick and easy steps that each person should take to make things run "smoother" in their every day lives. The main principle met from Mayer's principles is the multimedia principle. This slideshow is developed with words and pictures rather than just words alone which makes it more appealing and visually sensitive to the viewer. The pictures also match the the steps in each slide perfectly making the slideshow more coherent. Another principle met with this particular show is the personalization principle since the words presented in the text are presented more as a conversational piece rather than in a formal and more rigid sense.

Recycling Around The Globe media type="custom" key="23141572"

Author: Hafez Shurrab Website: slideshare.net

Principle: This powerpoint presents statistical information regarding recycling from around the globe. The presentation incorporates three of Mayer's principles: multimedia, coherence, and spatial contiguity. First, the powerpoint presentation displays pictures that have a direct correlation to the fact or stat that is portrayed on that particular slide. This is an example of the multimedia principle described in Mayer's article. By presenting both pictures and words, viewers can easily make connections and develop a deeper understanding of the information being presented. Secondly, the presentation does a nice job of including only essential information and reducing extraneous material. For each stat, there is a short description and picture. This example demonstrates Mayer's principle of coherence. Finally, the principle described as spatial contiguity is also evident. Each stat is presented with a picture that corresponds to that stat. Again, this will help viewers make better connections and develop greater understanding of the material presented. A.D.

media type="custom" key="23144758" Author: Tricia Tabler Website: slideshare.net

Principle: This powerpoint highlights the multimedia principle described by Mayer as where people learn information better when text and pictures co-exist. This presentation has strong visuals of the information being presented, which helped my students connect the information quickly, and process the information more accurately. I have actually used this presentation in my classroom, and found it to be very useful. I found the multimedia image of the location of the 13 colonies to be especially helpful for my students. However, I found the principle with the strongest use within this powerpoint was the signaling principle. In his interview, Mayer stated that, "people learn better when the material is organized with clear outlines and headings". I thought this powerpoint did an excellent job of presenting the information with clear outlines and headings for each category of information presented. This is especially helpful to my fifth graders, who are not yet strong at taking notes. It provides them scaffolding for organizing the information in their notes, as well as organizing the information in their learning. I think this presentation does a great job at using these two principles to strengthen learning. C.H.

Principle: This powerpoint presents information regarding the possible water shortage our world could face. Let me preface by saying that, while very interesting and alarming at face value, I do not know the strength behind each fact presented in this slide. I looked at it from the principles of Mayer. This slide show seemed to embody a few of Mayer's principles as listed in //Applying the Science of Learning: Evidence-Based Principles for the Design of Multimedia Instruction (The American Psychologist, 2008).// First, this slideshow is a great example of Mayer's Coherence principle for reducing extraneous processing. The focus of this show was very specific and the words on each slide very minimal. It allowed for focus of topic comprehension. It seems like most of Mayer's principles of design in regards to learning and instruction are focused on minimal, yet specific information for best comprehension. I thought this slide show did a great job at focusing the information (and the images that connected to the information) to the main topic. I believe this slideshow also is a great example of Mayer's principle of Segmentation for managing essential processing. This show seemed to have certain patterns that it presented information in. It also incorporated specific slides that signaled the information to be presented on the following slide. The incorporation of these two principles of Mayer will help watchers to better retain the information. A.V.

 * Life is a Journey**
 * Author:** Coach Bay
 * Website:** http://www.slideshare.net/TomasBay/life-is-a-journey-7504327?from_search=8

Principle: This PowerPoint presentation, "Life is a Journey" was simple yet motivational and powerful to any person watching it. After reading the article, //Applying the Science of Learning: Evidence-Based Principles for the Design of Multimedia Instruction//by Richard E. Mayer (2008), it was evident that some of the principles presented could easily be applied to the PowerPoint presentation. First, this presentation demonstrates Mayer's technique of Coherence for reducing extraneous processing. The uses minimal text, but enough for the audience to understand the presenters message. Each word used throughout the presentation speaks to the picture and in some cases, the picture was enough without any use of words, which incorporates Mayer's Multimedia principle for fostering generative processing in which he describes that people learn better from words and pictures than from words alone. Although I was simply viewing a picture, my mind was interpreting that picture using existing schemas/experiences. Finally, this PowerPoint presentation does a great job of incorporating Mayer's second technique of Personalization for fostering generative processing. This technique focuses on the idea that people learn better when the author presents words in a conversational style rather than a formal style. That is exactly what this presentation does. It takes the audience on a journey of life. Throughout the presentation the author places conversational slides such as "Do you remember?" or "Is this what you really want?" to help guide the audience to the next set of slides. MC

Author: Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano Date: August 11, 2012 Presentation: Transformative iPad Use in Elementary Principles: The principles being demonstrated in this powerpoint are multimedia, coherence and contiguity. It seems that the author included these principles to help learners process essential information. The words per slide are limited and connect to meaningful images. The words and images work together fluently throughout the presentation. The presentation is simple and does not serve as a "how to" resource for implementing iPads into early elementary; rather, it was created to inspire viewers to incorporate technology into K-5 classrooms.

Author: Cahaya Yahya Website: www.slideshare.net

Principles: Within this presentation Cahaya demonstrates coherence, sementing, signaling, multimedia, and contiguity principles. The combination of these principles during this slide presentation allows for students to follow progressively through the process of finding and building equivalent fractions. The step by step process also allows for students to work along with the presentation instead of just seeing the answers displayed in front of them. The simplicity of this presentation would be a good fit for my students as we are currently correcting misconceptions of this process. AK

media type="custom" key="23159938" Author: Zglazenburg Website: www.slideshare.net

Principles: In this presentation, the author demonstrates coherence by reducing extraneous processing. There are no "interesting off topic facts" in the presentation, keeping the learner focused on the task at hand; what is the difference between mass and weight. Also, the author keeps the information straight and to the point. The words displayed for each slide are limited in order to keep things simple for the learner. Also, for managing essential processing, the presentation allows the learner to progress at their own pace. Since it is a slide show, the learner can advance onwards as they please as well as move backwards if they feel they need to review a previous slide. AJM

media type="custom" key="23160500" Author:Mrsbauerart Website: www.slideshare.net

Principles: This slide show presentation focuses on introducing students to the concept and application of linear perspective in art. While it’s coherent and concise layout could fit many of Richard Mayer’s design principles, the main principle used by the developer of this slide show is the pre-training principle. The developer, Mrsbraveart, has organized the vocabulary and concepts in a manner that builds upon one another. The learners are introduced to Components. For example: Horizon, vanishing points, and orthogonal lines. Before they are discussed together as the larger concept of one point perspective. This pre training allows students to understand the cause and effect relationships between the concepts. This pre-training is very important as Mayer explains in his article “Applying the Science of Learning: Evidence based principles of the design of multimedia instruction” (2008). “People learn better form a narrated animation when they already know the names and characteristics of essential components.” Meaning this slide show will result in a higher quality learning experience than that of one where the slides did not use pre-training to explore linear perspective.

Author: Nichole Lee Website: www.slideshare.net

Principles: This slide show presentation demonstrates two principles: multimedia and personalization. The Multimedia and Personalization Principles are the "two techniques for fostering generative processing". Mayer tells us that when using the Multimedia Principle that "people learn better from words and pictures than from words alone;" and when using the Personalization Principle that “the idea that people learn better from a multimedia lesson when words are in conversational style rather than formal style.” In this slideshow presentation, “How to Socialize Your Dog” the multimedia is in the form of pictures to demonstrate how to socialize your pet with people and in other environments. It also demonstrates the personalization, as the language in the presentation is informal or conversational style rather than a formal lecture. JLS

Author: Mrs. Amelia Hernandez-Benton Website: http://www.slideshare.net/mrsamelia/7th-grade-objective-ordering-decimals?from_search=6

Principles: This slide show presentation demonstrates spatial contiguity and signaling principle. The slideshow highlights the key concepts of how to order decimals based on the place values thus why it incorporates the signaling principle. It also points out the symbols used to order decimal, (less than, greater than, equal to, etc). It obvious to the viewer what the key points are for the lesson. Spatial contiguity is evident in the slideshow by using words with corresponding graphics. The author included place value charts so students could visually see the place values as they were describing how to order decimals. The author also included what the symbols look like along with the word description for less than, greater than, and equal to.

Author: Kelly Williams Website: http://www.slideshare.net/kdwilliams/solving-one-step-equations-123662?from_search=7

Principles: This slide show presentation demonstrates the spatial contiguity principle of Mayer. The problems not only show what the author did along each step of the problem but they also include a brief explanation next to each step. I think that this really helps the viewer understand why the author is doing what they are doing at the time. This slide show also demonstrates the signaling principle by highlighting essential material. At the beginning of the slideshow the author pinpoints that the goal of solving equations is to "get the variable alone" and that to solve equations they must "undo" each operation. This is a great reminder for students as they begin to solve these types of problems.

Author: mrpolizone Website: []

Principles: In this PowerPoint presentation, the author demonstrates several of Mayer's principles. The signaling principle is demonstrated by the clear outlines which organizes the material and helps people learn better. The multimedia principle is demonstrated by combined words and pictures, rather than only having words. The continguity principle is demonstrate by having corresponding words and pictures presented at the same time and next to each other on the screen. Pictures highlight the vocabulary words and descriptions of the lesson.
