Image
MAYER'S 12 PRINCIPLE OF  MULTIMEDIA LEARNING Richard Mayer's multimedia learning theory, introduced in 2001 , offers key guidelines for instructional designers and eLearning developers to maximize learning through multimedia. The theory, based on the dual-channel , limited capacity, and active-processing assumptions , emphasizes that people learn better when actively processing information through separate auditory and visual channels. Mayer's 12 principles provide a blueprint for structuring multimedia elements effectively, which is crucial as digital learning becomes more prevalent and preferred by learners. Mayer’s Multimedia Learning Theory is Based  on Three Assumptions: Dual-channel assumption: According to Mayer, people have two separate channels for processing auditory and visual information. Limited-capacity assumption: The theory recognises that individuals have a limited ability to absorb information at any one time. Active-processing assumption: The multime...
