Summary
Multimedia learning is learning from words and pictures. The rationale for studying multimedia learning is that people can learn more deeply from words and pictures than from words alone. A goal of research on multimedia learning is to understand how to design multimedia learning environments that promote meaningful learning. The research base concerning multimedia learning is reflected in the 46 chapters of this Handbook, and includes 30 design principles that we have organized into three categories: principles based on reducing extraneous processing, principles based on managing essential processing, and principles based on fostering generative processing.
