Category: Assignment 2 – Feedback

Understand and use the multimedia principles

I liked how you cleary supported your claim on how Dr.Ray did not follow the Modality Principle. His voice was not clear as you stated so the learning benefits of the narration aspect of this principle along with images is not followed. I also liked how you used an example from your past powerpoint presentation to show the Signaling principle by pointing out the images in your provided pictures.

I wonder if, in addition to your excellent blog post could you have maybe better defined how the Feedback Principle might help the learners by giving them positive/negative feedback on their performance for example from an assignment given by the instructor rather then questions being answered face to face.

Overall great post with nice images and references to Multimedia Priniciples!

Blog 3-Multimedia Design for Learning

I liked how you used a past experience in your blog post to help show your understanding of the topic.  I agree with the statement of “we can sometimes change a word, it would make people to think in other way” with a change of a single word a whole different direction can be taken from the one someone may be trying to state. The video you have provided of the homeless gentlemen helps prove your point across more by showing the importance of words.

I wonder if, in addition to your great blog post could you have maybe gone more in depth of the relevancy or provided an example/ connection of principles you stated above in the introduction such as the Modality and Redundancy principle to your post.

Great job Hsien-wen on your blog post!

What does a Multimedia Lesson Plan bring?

I like how the video tutorial regarding Slither.io had checkpoint questions that were relevant to the in game mechanics to show that the viewer understands how the game plays. Modality principle is shown throughout the video tutorial. Another plus to the post is the reference to confidence. Leland says “In confidence, this ultimately shows the motivation the teacher has, and thus students will show more hunger to learn and succeed.” As a fellow student I agree with Leland on how if the teacher shows confidence it allows for a better learning experience.

I wonder if, in addition to your blog post could you have perhaps included some type of evidence to your introduction of “Throughout human history, it has been shown that humans are more likely to complete tasks when they have a plan.” to help better support your opinion/claim of having a plan more likely completes tasks then not having one or by just winging it.

Leland did a great job overall on this blog post.
