Part I‐ Animations in learning dynamic processes from multimedia presentation

• Explosion of the numbers of animations (and video) in electronic documents and e‐learning

• Animation are more concrete than static pictures (or than a lot of words )• Animation are more concrete than static pictures (or than a lot of words )

• More realistic: step of the process

• Elicit more engagement and motivation than static pictures

• Are animations better and more efficient for learning and understanding than static pictures , in school and in professional learning ?

Wh t iti h t l d l b ilt f i ti ?• What cognitive processes: how mental models  are built from animation? 

Does animation facilitate learning, doing  procedures and comprehension?

• N t l (T k M i & Bét t 2002 Bét t• Not always (Tversky, Morrison & Bétrancourt, 2002, Bétrancourt, 2005)– Experimental results not in favor of a benefit in learning from animation 

compared to static picturescompared to static pictures• Höffler & Leutner (2007)

– Meta‐analysis of the research (26 studies, 76 pair‐wise comparisons) about the comparison between static pictures and animation for the sameabout the comparison between static pictures and animation for the same topic

– Advantage (positive effect, medium size, d  = .37) of instructional animation over static pictures in the comprehension of a dynamic process p p y por phenomenon.

Why does animation not always help learning?Why does animation not always help learning?

Intuitively designed, without scientific grounding  

When to look, where to look, what to look and how?

• Perceptual salience / thematic relevance

• TransienceAttention difficulties

Transience• Speed (high)• Attention direction and share

Cognitive difficulties : cognitive load and limited

• Expressiveness of the animation

• Apprehendability

working memory resources

Conceptual difficulties: priorpp y• Information search• Visual search (text and picture)• Simultaneous movements

Conceptual difficulties: prior knowledge

• Simultaneous movements

Difficulties mainly related to presentation format and information delivery.Can we improve the animation efficiency for learning purpose: yes we can?

How to improve animation presentation and design?How to improve animation presentation and design? 

1. Presentation format and information organization

2. Interactivity with the computer and user-control of the animation

3. Attention guiding and signaling (cueing techniques)

4. Providing strategies

5. Segmentation and speed of the animation

Experimental methodExperimental method

• a Individual pre test for prior knowledge• a‐ Individual pre‐test for  prior knowledge

• b‐ Individual study of the animation presented on the computer (time constraints , compulsory tasks or free study)

• c‐ Post‐test : Recall, comprehension measures (or production test),  transfer tests.
