Module+3+Design

In the course wiki you will be working with your classmates to locate and share PowerPoint presentations that exhibit one or more of the 10 principles by Mayer. Once you have located the PowerPoint presentation on SlideShare you will embed it on this Module 3 Page in the course wiki. Each entry should 1) clearly display the author of the PowerPoint, 2) Explain which principle is being demonstrated and how, and 3) Please post your initials next to your entry. You can separate your entries by inserting a horizontal line. (The icon with the blue bar in the wiki toolbar.) To embed a slideshare presentation just copy the embed code and click in the TV icon in the wiki toolbar. You can click on "Other html" then paste the embed code and click on Save.

In this Slideshare presentation, the task to be achieved is to convey to the viewers the meaning of instructional design. This video stays on target taking the viewer through a series of slides that effectively reduces extraneous processing as described by Mayer in the course reading. The first area addressed by Mayer and included in this presentation is to reduce extraneous material. This Slideshare includes short, concise text that explains the concept quickly and effectively. The second area explained by Mayer and included in this video is signaling. Each essential concept in this Slideshare is highlighted at the beginning of the presentation with a short highlighted or bold phrase or question introducing the basic concept to be understood. This presentation does an excellent job of what Mayer coined as the "spatial contiguity principle" where explanatory words are posted next to the picture for better understanding and synthesis of the information.

Mayer defines one of two principles for fostering generative processing as the application of the "multimedia principle." This means people learn better from pictures and words rather than just seeing and reading the words. This slide show does a wonderful job of creating a visual representation such as a picture or graph for almost every text entry shown on the screen. This helps the viewer to create better connections in the brain by being shown both the verbal and pictorial representation of the subject area which studies have shown leads to deeper understanding. Finally, Mayer talks about the "personalization principle" where using a conversational style to the text helps to create a relationship between the viewer and presenter. If a relationship is formed, studies have shown that the viewer will try harder to understand the material being presented.

media type="custom" key="13552562"(MB) 1) The author of this powerpoint is Alvero Gonzales-Alorda, you can contact the author at bit/ly agalorda 2) Mayer provides the class with three evidence-based and theoretically grounded principles for managing essential processing. While viewing the powerpoint several times, I believe the the application of the "Segmenting Principle" is on display. Alvero Gonzales-Alorda breaks up his presentation into 3 segments, using graphics that are embedded within written text to promote essential processing. Even though there is not a tab for the learner to proceed the viewer is walked through each of the objectives, thus cognitive development is achieved in "learner-paced segments" according to the Mayer article. The learner is not overwhelmed with text and the graphics complement the objective of each slide on the presentation. Mayer provides two evidence-based and theoretically grounded principles for fostering generative processing. While I was interacting with this powerpoint I could observe evidence of Mayer "multimedia principle" in effect. The presence of text and graphics rather that words alone. One of the slides in "Key Drivers of educational technology to watch segment" has to do with mentoring. The graphic are of two colleges, in a coffee shop. I construct learning from this through the interaction with colleges daily...always being the mentor or the one being mentored. This provides for greater comprehension on the value of having mentorship, in the use of educatioal technology, in our district. The graphic did not overpower the text, and the text did not overpower the graphics. This justifies when students, teachers and parents use multimedia for learning, when people can learn more deeply when they construct connections upon the "verbal representation and a pictorial representation of the same material" as stated in the Mayer article under the "Multimedia principle". 3) (MB)

1) The author of this PowerPoint is Jeff Bullas, you can contact the author at www.JeffBullas.com 2) One of Mayer's principles that stands out on in this PowerPoint is Coherence. The slides are very to the point to avoid extraneous processing. The slides are very succinct and coherent to help cognitive processing. I think that Jeff Bullas also applies the Signaling principle. He highlights only the most important material. Each bullet shows important information. The use of bullets and text is not over-done, further helping the audience to easily pull out the most key concepts. Finally, the author applies the Multimedia principle. He does a great job of incorporating up to date and modern/relevant photographs. Each photo relates well with the text. In the Mayer article he states that the learner should not be overwhelmed with multimedia and each should compliment the other. The graphics do not take away or draw the eye from the text, rather each compliments the other. 3) A.E.

2)This PowerPoint kept all of the information short and simple. There was not too much written on one slide and what was written kept you thinking and sparked interest. This PowerPoint was very coherent according to Mayer’s standards and the author of this power point did a good job with the spatial contiguity. There were pictures on the slides that matched with what the presenter was talking about. The information was presented so that the observer was not overloaded with too much information at one time and they had control over when to move on to the next slide so they were not rushed by a timer or sitting there bored because the timer was too long before it moved on to the next slide. Most of the time the creator of this PowerPoint had a good use of multimedia because there were words and pictures together, there were a few slides with just words but they would make certain words stick out by changing the font color for the important ones. This PowerPoint was definitely personalized according to Mayer because it felt like the presentation was having a conversation with you. It would ask you questions and it used every day language.

media type="custom" key="13597760" 1) The authors of this PowerPoint are Corrine Weisgerber and Shannan Bulter from St. Edward's University. Website: www.slideshare.net 2) This PowerPoint presentation explains how to transition to an educator-curator. The presentation is broken into multiple steps which follows along with Mayer's Segmenting Principle. The information is presented in a logical, learner-paced way. Each step is stated, explained, and further explained with real life examples to help demonstrate the specific steps. This presentation also highlights on Mayer's Coherence and Signaling Principles by staying on topic and only providing information that is relevant to each step, as well as highlighting only essential information. The authors is a great job of reducing extraneous material by keeping slides short and to the point. Many slides show pictures from the internet and the important information is clearly shown and pointed out to the viewers. This PowerPoint follows the Multimedia Principle most of the time by including words and pictures at the same time. The pictures follow along with the words and help further explain the text. Each slide is well created and easy to read; the pictures do not distract from the text and vice versa. Many of the pictures are actual examples of how the authors used the steps in their own classrooms which gives the presentation a personalized feeling. 3) JH

media type="custom" key="13695148" 1) The author of this presentation is Kim Cofino for the Teach IT! Conference in Singapore from Nov. of 2007. 2) This PowerPoint presentation uses the Mayer principle of Multimedia. Not only does the PowerPoint use words, but there are pictures as well, videos, comics, graphs and links to student examples. Multimedia presentations will stick with people for a long period of time according to Mayer, because it uses more than words alone. Another Mayer principle used is Signaling, important words are highlighted in the text, however there is not a sentence that overviews the material before the start. The words highlighted in red do stand out against the black background and the other words printed in white. I also believe that this PowerPoint went along with Mayer's Coherence principle as the slides were narrowed down in text (no long sentences). This would help the learner get through information at a faster pace compared to an expanded lesson or a large PowerPoint presentation. 3) C.L.

media type="custom" key="13703582" 1) [|D. ALQahtani] is the author of this presentation that was created on May 5, 2011. 2) The PowerPoint presentation uses Mayer's Multimedia Principle. The PowerPoint does use words, but the presentation is very graphic intensive and showcases the text in a very useful way. While there is no use of video or sound, the pictures are very vibrant and the presentation is colorful. On some level, I feel like the Contiguity Principle may be applicable because the words are showcased near the pictures rather than spaced far away from the text. While sometimes the gray text blends in with the background or template graphic, I believe the author did a really nice job at creating a PointPoint that is visually appealing and without long sentences. However, 100 slides seems like too many slides for one presentation. 3) JH

1) “What A Wonderful World!” By Simon Jones from [|www.slideshare.net] 2) This PowerPoint demonstrates many of the principles outlined by Mayer. The presentation, “What a Wonderful World!” is grounded to foster generative processing through both multimedia and personalization. Because of the use of photographs, the presentation is not limited to text which demonstrates multimedia. Additionally, the wording (i.e. “If you have…”) is informal and reaches the viewer on a more personal level, as if it was a conversation. To manage essential processing, this presentation uses segmenting according to Mayer. Each part of the presentation (poverty, wealth, health, adversity, literacy) is broken up for the user to view as separate parts. According to Mayer’s principles to reduce extraneous processing, this presentation is both coherent and displays spatial contiguity. Since the content is straight to the point, it is articulated in a way so the user is not distracted by irrelevant ideas or media. Similarly, the text and graphics match up in way to engage the user and show spatial contiguity. Because of the multimedia, corresponding text, and fragmentation, this PowerPoint presentation demonstrates multiple principles outlined by Mayer. 3) KH

 * Why Technology Is Failing In Public Schools**

Principle: Multimedia Principle The multimedia principle states that "people learn better from words and pictures than from words alone." (Mayer, 766) In the case of this slide show the author has paired up images that help the learner to relate to the content being addressed. A great example is on slide 30 where the author has paired an image of the human eye, a 'real life' example of 20/20 vision AND their idea of using a teaching strategy of the same name. In all actuality they are not only using the multimedia principle here, but for the purpose of this assignment I will solely consider that principle.

By placing a picture of the human eye and talking about 20/20 vision, the learner is able to better relate to the content. We understand as learners that 20/20 vision is something to be desired, a quality trait. Due to the mention of that trait we are forced to consider the key idea being brought up by the author. In this case it's focusing on learning and the teaching we do to cause it.

media type="custom" key="14055114" 1- The author of the slides is Jane Hart from the Center for Learning and Performance Technologies. 2- The powerpoint uses the multimedia principles outlined by Mayer and his reports. The presentation does have numerous information regarding tecnology and the top uses for learning. Within the presentation there are images, yet are limited and not to the extent in which there could be. The facts are great and very informative but are very descriptive only in words and not in graphics. Overall not a bad presentation, but truly could be developed a little more to be very effective learning tool. 3- RT

media type="custom" key="13781070" 1- The author of this presentation is Simon Jones 2- The PowerPoint uses many of Mayer's principles. He used the multimedia principle by including words in all of his slides alongside and mostly inside of pictures. It connected with the words in a way that made it much more grabbing. He also greatly used the personalization principle. He presented everything in a very conversational tone. It made it very simple to read and absorb and I didn't feel like I was losing interest as I went along. As I was reading I could hear him saying the words in my head. The presentation actually has quite a few slides in it but I was able to go through very quickly because it was easy to read. 3.- LS

media type="custom" key="13785330" 1. The author of this presentation is Abhishek Shah 2. This Powerpoint really shows off many of the principles that Mayer introduces. The Powerpoint is designeed to inform the viewer how to create a meaningful Powerpoint presentation. The Powerpoint does a good job of showing the principle of segmenting, as the show is broken down into 2 parts- preparation and presentation, and there are also 2 slides at the end that recap all of the key points made. this allows the audience to go at its own pace, and not feel like they have missed anything. Also, the principle of Modality is clearly displayed. I understood every word shown on the presentation, and in fact, one of the points made was to not use jargon in one's presentation! Finally, the principle of spacial contiguity is also demonstrated, with strong visuals that complement the ideas being presented.The author did a nice job of actually implementing his points with the slide show, making it interesting and to the point. It follows the Multimedia principle throughout the slideshow, as words and images are shown at the same time, with no extraneous wording popping up after the slide is on the screen. 3. SN

The Presenation Secrets of Steve Jobs - How to Be Insanely Great in Front of Any Audience media type="custom" key="13795436" 1) The author of this presentation is Carmin Gallo a columnist for Business week.com 2) This PowerPoint presentation giving advice and information about how to give a good presentation has several of Mayer's principles in its design. The PowerPoint displays coherence with the wording used throughout the presentation. There are no slides with a lot of information that are hard to read and remember. Carmin Gallo, the author, keeps the slides short with only important information so readers are not bogged down with irrelevant or extraneous information and graphics. Additionally, signaling is used throughout the presentation with the use of yellow text, bold text, and the text size. The layout of the slides keeps the reader focused and the information the author finds important is evident due to his signaling. Spatial contiguity is evident in this presentation because the images are paired with the printed text. The author uses vivid images to make his point and the short text gives a clear purpose for each photo. There is little room for interpretation of the images and Gallo does not leave the reader thinking about the point he was trying to make. His points are clearly stated or shown. Gallo uses Mayer's principal of segmenting throughout this PowerPoint. The information is presented in short phrases that flow from one slide to the next. The reader is not overwhelmed with too much information at once, making the read quick and to the point. The text is written in a conversational tone rather than a formal written tone. Mayer would say this PowerPoint displays modality. Lastly, there is also evidence of multimedia and personalization within this presentation. Gallo displays pictures and words together more than he shows pictures alone. Also, the tone of the presentation is conversational and adds an element of intimacy to the presentation. The reader does not feel that the information to over the top or too technical to understand. This presentation has flaws, but overall it displays several of Mayer's principles for reducing extraneous processing, managing essential processing, and fostering generative processing. 3) KT

1) The author of this presentation is Saying It Social. 2) The primary principles used in this presentation are the multimedia principle and the spatial contiguity principle. The author uses graphics that show each concept as well as words to explain the concept. The words are the explanation while the graphics are the demonstration. The slides look quite busy but they are a direct representation of what is being taught. This presentation demonstrates spatial contiguity in that the graphics are paired with the printed words and many are connected through arrows. The text is to the point and discusses what is being shown as an example. 3)DM

After going through the slides and reading Mayer’s article, I find that this powerpoint demonstrates the multimedia principle. The slides are presented with words as well as pictures to demonstrate the ideas. Learners will be able to read the powerpoint as well as get ideas from the pictures. I feel that the slides also present the segmenting principle. The slides are broken into segments so the reader can follow along. Coherence and signaling are presented in the slides because the authors highlight important information and take out irrelevant information.

 * 60 Seconds to Better Communication**

1. The author of this presentation is Bryce Christiansen from ThePeopleProfiler.com. This presentation is a bit of an ad for this website, but it offers some great tips on how to better communicate with people throughout the slideshow. 2. While I may not directly use this in my classroom, the principles taught in this presentation are valuable when discussing communication. The pictures and text are short and interesting, and in this way, Bryce Christiansen helps to reduce extraneous processing by using spatial contiguity as described by Mayer. He also uses some signaling throughout the presentation by introducing "new" ideas in front of a "cloud" background as opposed to examples of those ideas, which are represented by various pictures. Christiansen also follows Mayer's "signaling" principle by highlighting important words and phrases in those cloud backgrounds and on the text accompanying the pictures. The various pictures and text really help in fostering generative processing. The text is not very formal, and it seems like you are having a conversation with the author. (I am glad this principle is followed, since this is a presentation on better communication!) The words and pictures--which are sometimes humorous and sometimes more poignant--also help to follow the multimedia principle. While the whole presentation leads up to the "ad" for ThePeopleProfiler.com, most people viewing the presentation would actually visit the website when done; I know I did! Christiansen did not follow any of the principles to manage essential processing as described by Mayer very well, but the presentation was segmented in that viewers could play each slide for as long or short of a time as they desire; a viewer could spend more time on the main messages and less time on each picture if they wanted to truly get through this in 60 seconds! While I may not use this directly in my English or history classrooms, I see it as a valuable tool for business teachers and even perhaps speech teachers. 3. PT

2. The purpose of this presentation is to effectively give an introduction to the U.S. Constitution; both its history and significance. A few of Mayer's principles are demonstrated in the presentation. The first principle David Burns demonstrates is the Multimedia Principle. The show uses a combination of mediums to Illustrate the concepts for the learner with pictures and words. Even more, these illustrations demonstrate spatial contiguity because the text/words and pictures are located near each other on the screen. Another principle Mayer discusses that I see evident in this presentation is Signaling; the extra material is filtered and the important pieces of information are pointed out or highlighted so that attention is focused to it. I believe the presentation is designed well, exemplifying many of the Mayer principles, to make it a effective show for an introduction to one of the most important documents of U.S. History.

I noticed some principles of Mayer in this presentation. It had coherence,there wasn't much extraneous information. It had signaling, it was organized and laid out the essential material. Redundancy was applied, there was no text with animation to reiterate the points. But it lacked in all the other principles like multimedia and spatial contiguity which are important in presentations in my opinion. It also lacked temporal contiguity. I think the information in the presentation is helpful but it could be enhanced using the principles that weren't present.

It then goes into using social media in education and didfferent things that are being used. This presentation shows first and mostly the Multimedia Principle, it uses a combination of mediums to Illustrate the concepts for the learner with pictures and words. In fact I think there was too much use of pictures. The use of spatial contiguity is questionalable on some slides it appears to be there and on others it is not.Redundancy, there was no text with animation to reiterate the points, in this presentation any use of animation would have made this presentation too busy. There was some signaling used, it was organized and laid out the essential material, but certain slides seemed pointless to me., showing a lack of coherence. 3. JC

Author: begswein Website: www.slideshare.net Purpose: Kickstarter (inc) has uploaded this Slideshare presentation to advertise the company's ability to "kick start" funding for creative projects. They utilize many of Mayer's principles in the slideshow to convey their marketing platform "discover projects curated by some of the world's foremost creative communities". The presentation uses graphics and short concise text to explain it's purpose, supportive of the Coherence Principle. Also, the redundancy principle was utilized in the same manner via animation and the lack of on-screen text. The site relies on social cues to catch the viewers attention, for instance, the eye-catching headline is "6 elements to a kickass kickstarter project", a socially acceptable term in today's competitive market. The presentation does NOT include a speaker's image to add effectiveness, but various contemporary multi-media images that cover art, music, culture, games and so on. The company stresses their ability to fund start-up ventures for creative projects with Individual differences - one of Mayer's last principles.

It took me quite some time to locate a presentation that wasn't all bullet and text driven, so I am NOT advocating the content or effectiveness of Kickstarter, just the delivery of their message.
