 provide more information,
 compress information,
 faster for those able to process it,
 need more instructional support.
 At the bottom:
 involve the learner,
 encourage active learning,
 provide less information,
 more stimuli and richer experience

organized with clear outlines and
headings.
The Signaling Principle

explanation better when the words are
presented as narration rather than on-
screen text.
The Modality Principle

53. Use visuals with your words, instead of
words alone.
People learn better from words and
pictures than from words alone.
The Multimedia Principle

54. Rigorously remove every element that
does not support the main idea.
People learn better when extraneous
material is excluded rather than included.
The Coherence Principle
