The Importance of Visualization

within Instructional Design SystemsBy Emily Beth Wood

Visualization

Design Principles

Dual Coding Theory

Cognitive Load Theory

Multimedia Principle/Modality Effect

Split-Attention Principle

Angle ABC=

180°- Angle BAC- Angle BCA

(Internal angles of triangle sum to 180°)

Angle ABC= 180° - 56° - 45°

Angle ABC= 80°

Split-Attention Principle

Contiguity Principle

Redundancy Effect

Cueing

Targets learner’s attentionImproves comprehension by highlighting important pointsReduces the need to process unnecessary information**Increases retention of key points**

Color Coding

Constructivist Theory

Design Layout

Alignment of textual and visual objects should be standardizedEach page should be balanced with equal amounts of material on each side

Design Layout

Use contrasting objects and backgrounds

Font sizes and styles should be consistent throughout

ExTrAnEoUs alterations can be distracting
