Multimedia These principles were developed by Richard E. Mayer and published in Multimedia Learning, Cambridge University Press, 2001. Multimedia Principle Students learn better from words and pictures than from words alone. Spatial Contiguity Principle Students learn better when corresponding words and pictures are placed near each other on the page or screen. Temporal Contiguity Principle Students learn better when your narration and video are synchronized. Make sure your narration is in sync with what students are watching on the screen. Coherence Principle Students learn better when extraneous words, pictures, and sounds are removed. Redundancy Principle Students understand a multimedia explanation better when words are presented as verbal narration alone rather than both verbally and on screen text. There are some exceptions to this rule, however. When defining technical terms or in you have a majority of non-native speakers you would want to reinforce narration with text.
