__**Multimedia Principle**__ According to Richard E. Mayer in //Multi-media Learning, "People learn better from words and pictures than from words alone."// Our presentation will begin with a non-example of this principle and then proceed to show you many examples of multi-media learning. Basically, we will display the use of "words" and "pictures" together. The words will be both printed and spoken. The pictures will be photos, graphs, charts, illustrations, video, and animation. Using words and pictures together will make people "learn better" which refers to improvements in understanding of the presented material. Our presentation will show how you make connections between pictures and words. Mayer also states, "low-knowledge people will gain more from multimedia learning than high-knowledge people."
