Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning

 

  The main assumption is that people learn better from combination of pictures and words rather than from words alone. Humans have two separate channels which are auditory channel and visual channel for processing information and each of these channels has a limited capacity. So, using both channels in a well-organized way will be beneficial for better learning.

SAMR Model

  Examples to understand better:  -A student writing a story on computer directly is an example of substitution where technology is used the least in this table.   -If that student uses a word processing program on computer, then this becomes an example of augmentation.   -In case that this student writes this story using Google Docs. which will enable him to share his story and get feedbacks from his friends online, then this becomes an example of modification where technology use is more.   -And finally if the student transforms a written text into a multimedia production, shoting video or making film, this becomes an example of redefinition where tech. use is at the top.
