Describes concreteness ofaudio-visual media

Lower layer and upper layer

Three regions

Symbolic region: Knowledgethat comes by listening or seeing

Iconic region: Knowledge bymotion pictures like television

Enactive region: Knowledgethat comes through action

Effect of Interactivity: An Experiment by Evans andGibbons

To investigate the impact of interactivity on students

Environment

Year: 2007No of students 33 (22 male and 11 female)Undergraduate students at a university in Londonbackground in physicsTopic Taught: Working of a Bicycle Pump

Method

Two sub groups, random selection, I and NI Grouptwo quizzes to solveMemory Test(2 question): How Bicycle pump worksTransfer Test(3 question) What could be done to make pump moreeffective, to make it move air more rapidlyOne hour duration

Interactive Group

Figure: Demonstration forInteractive Group

16 students

Screen displays a diagram of apump with a next button

When presses repeatedly, screenshows various stages

Observations

I Group 2.5 (out of 6)

NI Group 1.8 (out of 6)

2 Time taken

Mean Test time

I Group 785.5 seconds

NI Group 1160.8 seconds

Observations...

Figure: Time spent on learning andtime spent on test

Graph shows interactive grouptook more time for lesson, buttook less time for Test ascompared to non interactivegroup

Similar Work

Saswan Nusir et al. also performed a similar experiment.

Aim : Effect of effect of Multimedia programs on children learning

Grade-1 children were selected

Two groups, Traditional Group: 122 students, Multimedia group: 123students

Simple mathematics concept was taught(Fraction)

Test was organized to check the effect.

Mean Scores: Traditional: 8.05 while Multimedia Group: 8.47

Cartoon characters were used to teach

Animations in Learning

Richard E. Mayer, educationist, gave seven principle

1 Multimedia Principle: Animation + Narration, instead of narration

2 Spatial Contiguity Principle: Animation close to text

3 Temporal Contiguity Principle: Animation and Narration at same time

4 Coherence Principle: remove irrelevant sounds

5 Modality Principle: (Animation + Narration) instead of (Animationand Text)

6 Redundancy Principle: (Animation + Narration) if text is used, it isredundant

7 Personalization Principle: Conversational style instead of formal style
