1 |
Rich Text (font style, size) is better than plain text. Text that is blocked, indented, formatted and justified is more effective than plain text. |
|
2 |
Color, used wisely, gives more emphasis than black + white. |
|
3 |
Interactive (response by keyboard, conferencing by video) is better than passive. Interactive > Active > Passive. So when students actually change a formula or write code (“programming the script”) and immediately see the results of their work, learning is occurring the optimal state [analysis and synthesis -- the top of the pyramid of Bloom’s Taxonomy – increasingly effective teaching/learning strategies) |
|
4 |
Sound (music, voice, sound effects, Midi, Wav files) becomes more effective when it is in Stereo, keyed to the theme, evocative and connotative, able to create a mood without help from other media! |
|
5 |
An embedded [flat] picture is still worth at least 1000 words. Showing work of Art. |
|
6 |
As cool, as powerful in communicating, in a different way is “motion “. Scrolling Text (text scrolls by ….) and animated images (animated .gifs) can be rivet attention! |
|
7 |
Music add to Motion / Graphics expands Comprehension and the Learning Bandwidth. |
|
8 |
Full Motion (avi, mpeg) is more effective than animation. Web Communication that is interactive, musical, visual, and in motion delivers information thru many senses across a wide band to the student and optimizes the learning experience. |
