Summarize+the+Principles+of+Text+and+Graphics

=**Summarize the principles of text and graphics**= =Multimedia continues to show evidence that eLearning have positive results when incorporating text and graphics into the lessons. Clark & Mayer, (2008) write that it is “the most recognized principles of learning,” (p. 67). It is also believed that students learn even more when graphic organizers are added to the text (Clark & Mayer, 2008).= = = =**__Multimedia Principle: Include Both Words and Graphics__**= =The researched evidences and with cognitive theory shows that words and graphic used together grabs the attention of the audience so much better than just using words or adding a few graphics. Using words such as those written or spoken are not enough to grab the attention of the classroom. Graphics such as illustrations, maps, photo or animations and/or videos will stimulate the learning environment and engage the student.= = = =**__Select Graphics That Support Learning__**= =Instructors must select graphics that are not going to overwhelm the students. Since students process verbal and material pictures differently, instructors should deliver information in a way that the student can make some sense out of the material.= = = =**__Some Ways to Use Graphics to Promote Learning__**= =To begin to learn the best way to teach and to use text, here are four ways to meet student’s educational goals.=
 * =Graphics to Teach Content Types-which includes the facts, concepts, process, procedure, and principle.=
 * =Graphics as Topic Organizers-by showing specific content types, through the use of topic maps use to show relationships between topics in the lessons.=
 * =Graphics to Show Relationships-additional, graphics also show relationships between static graphs, through the use of line graphs, which show the growth or decline of a product from one year to the next. To make a map more interactive, instructors can use a slider bar for students to see population growth, and add red dots to see population density; each dot represents five thousand people on a geographic map.=
 * =Graphics as Lesson Interfaces-is used as a backdrop for presenting case studies. This may be used to demonstrate all the tools used in an auto shop, which gives the learner a chance to understand tests to diagnose and repair an auto when it does not work right.=
