Multimedia Lesson Design: Break it Up

How should we design our multimedia lessons or flipped lessons. Well Richard Mayer's research shows that

people learn better when we break up our lessons into bite size learning segments instead of one longer cohesive presentation.

Practical Tips:

1. Make a short video on each small concept and hyperlink the videos to a lesson page for each separate concept.

2. Take your video and break it into 3-5 short ones.

3. Give controls to the learner, allow them to choose how fast or slow to take in the concepts.

This allows for improved learning, but also built in differentiation a challenge for all teachers.
