Claremont Graduate University has just added a recent talk by cognitive psychologist Dr. Rich Mayer of UC Santa Barbara on how multimedia software can be best used to promote learning. This talk reviews a research program that has produced ten evidence-based principles for how to use both words and pictures to promote learning. Dr. Mayer focuses on the determination of both how people learn (i.e., the science of learning) and how to help people learn (i.e., the science of instruction).
The video is available for free on the Claremont site, and may be interesting to anyone working on the determination of the science of learning or the science of instruction:
