Editing Multimedia Principle (section)

=='''Extension'''==
When we understand that it is important to add graphics to words, can we say it is better to use animations or use static illustrations? To summarize the concern, the question came up to be '''whether the multimedia principle depends on whether the graphics are static (illustrations or photos) or dynamic (animations or video)'''. Nowadays, the form of animations is a very popular addition to many lessons. It is an active medium that helps learners depict changes and movement than using static illustrations which are passive mediums. A number of research studies have failed to find that animations are more effective than a series of static frames depicting the same material. When designed with special effects that reveal relationships that would not otherwise be visible, animations can serve an interpretive function. Besides, animations can cost more to develop than static diagrams, so it makes sense to use a series of static frames as the default graphic. 

Overall, applying animation to the lessons and other instructions can some sorts help learners in generative processing based on [https://ectwiki.online/index.php?title=The_Animation_Principlethe animation principle theory]. However, according to the research, we recommend using static illustrations unless there is a compelling instructional rationale for animation.
