Team C--This page is an excellent example of applying the contiguity principle. Scrolling down the screen does not limit the viewer of the coordinating information. The information is within eye level for the viewer to see the principle, definition, and example all at once. The viewer is not required to scroll down the page, limiting comprehension. -- Scott Hymas Hi team C--your table/graphic organizer is an excellent example of how visuals can benefit the learner. The visuals help someone visiting your site to make a cognitive connection between what you are trying to convey and what they should learn from it. Visuals in e-learning are important in general since they help make a connection between pictures and either audio or words on the screen. Also, nice job of presenting your words just to the right of your visuals, which our text explains is a good way to connect the two.--Bridget White, LT A media type="custom" key="23010104" width="324" height="223"

The saying a picture is worth a thousand words is a good way to describe how the multimedia principle works. Using words and pictures can help enhance the learner's understanding of the materials being presented. (Clark and Mayer, 2003). ||  Below is a presentation of the multimedia principle from [|slideshare].

Below is a link to a well thought out explanation and
