Multimedia Learning Third Edition Mayer 2-2
Third Edition
Advances in computer graphic technologies have inspired new
efforts to understand the potential of multimedia instruction as a
means of promoting human learning. In Multimedia Learning, Third
Edition, Richard E. Mayer takes an evidence-based approach to
improving education using well-designed multimedia instruction.
He reviews 15 principles of multimedia instructional design that are
based on more than 200 experimental research studies and grounded
in a cognitive theory of how people learn from words and graphics.
The result is the latest instalment of what Mayer calls the Cognitive
Theory of Multimedia Learning, a theory introduced in previous
editions of Multimedia Learning and in The Cambridge Handbook of
Multimedia Learning, Second Edition. This edition provides an up-
to-date and systematic summary of research studies on multimedia
learning, supplemented with complementary evidence from around
the globe. It is well-suited to graduate and undergraduate courses
in psychology, education, computer science, communication,
instructional design, and game design.
