[] This video separates the video and the text that goes with it.

The following YouTube video demonstrates how graphics, narration and printed text presented simultaneously can affect our cognitive ability when working in an online environment. In Mayer’s book, //Multimedia Learning//, he states that adding redundant on-screen text to a narrated animation detracts from multimedia learning (2009). His redundancy principle is not consistent with the learning preferences hypotheses. It is believed that redundant on-screen text to a narrated animation allows the learner to select their preferred learning style (Mayer, 2009, p. 132). Mayer’s redundancy theory, emphasizes that it is better to allow learners to utilize graphic and narrations and not to include printed text. The visual channel would be competing with each other and result in poorer learning. []

It seems that we need to be careful when we edit this page not to highlight other people's work. Also, save what you write here in case of accidents.

The website I selected violates the redundancy principle by having graphics, text and narration. This is called the learning preference hypothesis which states that people learn differently, the more ways a lesson is presented gives the student a choice on which way he/she learns best. http://www.brainpop.com/

Check out this video: [] Although this video provides excellent information about the state of math education in America, it does violate the redundancy principle by providing two sets of on-screen text in addition to concurrent narration. Captions are provided at the bottom of the screen in addition to on-screen with the animation and narration. Angela Finley
