1. Multimedia Principle – People learn better from words and pictures than from words alone.
2. Pre-Training Principle – People learn better from new lessons when they have pre-requisite knowledge
3. Signaling Principle – People learn better when cues that highlight the organization of the essential material
are added.
4. Spatial Contiguity Principle – People learn better when corresponding words and pictures are presented near rather than far from each other on the page or screen.
5. Temporal Contiguity Principle – People learn better when corresponding words and pictures are presented simultaneously rather than successively.
6. Segmenting Principle – People learn better from a multimedia lesson is presented in user-paced segments rather than as a continuous unit.
7. Personalization Principle – People learn better from multimedia lessons when words are in conversational style rather than formal style.
8. Redundancy Principle – People learn better from graphics and narration than from graphics, narration and on-screen text.
9. Modality Principle – People learn better from graphics and narrations than from animation and on-screen text. 10. Coherence Principle – People learn better when extraneous words, pictures and sounds are excluded rather than included.
