==Overview ==
The self-explanation principle is one of the advanced principles of multimedia learning. To benefit from multimedia learning environments that combine multiple sources of information, students are needed to learn how to make connections between the sources of information, thereby mastering cognitively challenging concepts.‎<ref>Mayer, R.
