As a multimedia designer, this becomes integral to be aware of when utilizing cultural inspiration. A perfect case study of multimedia medium that holds […]
C26: Best of the Best? How Most Viewed Enthalpy Chemistry Education Videos Stand up to Mayer’s Multimedia Learning Principles
This presentation focuses on identifying trends related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in academic writing on topics in music. Looking at these trends creates a greater understanding of how musicological societies and their associated journals, specifically the Journal of the American Musicological Society (JAMS) and the Journal of the Society for American Music (JSAM), interact […]
C32: Revamp, Review, Renew: Developing Codes for YouTube Content Using Updated Mayer’s Multimedia Principles
Chemistry courses are often referred to as “weed out classes” due to the complexity of the subject. While chemistry can be daunting to comprehend, there are ways to aid students in reaching comprehension. Through multimedia such as YouTube, students are able to take in words and visuals simultaneously to enhance learning. Mayer’s research for multimedia […]
C31: Bringing the Heat: Characterizing YouTube videos about Enthalpy using Mayer’s Multimedia Principles
Many students look to YouTube videos for help with general chemistry concepts, but how well do these videos adhere to the guidelines set in place by literature that aims to increase cognitive processing without overloading it? In our study, we create a codebook based on Richard Mayer’s Multimedia Principles that we systematically apply to a […]
B41: Multimedia Learning with YouTube: Do Educational Chemistry Videos Cognitively Support Student Learning?
Especially in a post-pandemic context, the use of technology and multimedia content for teaching and learning chemistry has become increasingly prevalent. While YouTube videos may contain accurate chemistry content, the way in which information is presented affects the potential for learning. Based on evidence-based research and cognitive theory, we used Mayer’s Multimedia Principles (MMP) to […]
