=='''Overview'''== [[File:The Multimedia Principle.png|thumb|350px|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnjgPd5togE|Introduction to the multimedia principle.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnjgPd5togE| Direct YouTube link]]] <p>The Multimedia Principle is one of [https://ectwiki.online/index.php?title=Mayer%27s_Principles_in_Multimedia_Learning Mayer's 12 multimedia learning principles] that foster [https://ectwiki.online/index.php?title=Generative_Processing generative processing] in the [https://ectwiki.online/index.php?title=Cognitive_Theory_of_Multimedia_Learning cognitive theory of learning]. The Multimedia Principle states that 'learners generally benefit from the inclusion of words with graphics rather than the use of either words or graphics alone(Mayer, n.d.).' By words, we mean printed text (words displayed on the screen that people read) or spoken text (words presented as speech that people listen to through earphones or speakers). By graphics, we mean static illustrations such as drawings, charts, graphs, maps, or photos, and dynamic graphics such as animation or video. We use the term [https://ectwiki.online/index.php?title=Multiple_Representation_Principle multimedia representation] to refer to any presentation that contains both words and graphics. The implication of the principle through graphic inclusion should be considered carefully with the content and audience. The effectiveness of combining imagery and text has also been found to vary depending on the content to be learned, the conditions under which performance is measured, and individual differences in spatial ability, prior knowledge, and general learning ability.
