1.

Coherence Principle People learn better when extraneous words, pictures and sounds are
excluded rather than included.
2. Signaling Principle People learn better when cues that highlight the organization of the essential
material are added.
3. Redundancy Principle People learn better from graphics and narration than from graphics,
narration and on-screen text.
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. Pre-training Principle People learn better from a multimedia lesson when they know the names
and characteristics of the main concepts.
8. Modality Principle People learn better from graphics and narrations than from animation and onscreen text.
9. Multimedia Principle People learn better from words and pictures than from words alone.
10. Personalization Principle People learn better from multimedia lessons when words are in
conversational style rather than formal style.
11. Voice Principle People learn better when the narration in multimedia lessons is spoken in a
friendly human voice rather than a machine voice.
12. Image Principle People do not necessarily learn better from a multimedia lesson when the
speakers image is added to the screen.
