Dr. Richard Mayer (2014) concludes his book, The Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning, with the following statement:
As technological capabilities and span increase, applying these guidelines will promote a learner-centric rather than media centric view. In short, e-learning resources will be designed to be consistent with the strengths and limits of human cognitive processes, rather than leveraging digital capabilities that in fact may be inconsistent with human learning psychology and evidence of what works. (p. 873)
Moving forward, which guidelines will inform your work as an instructional designer developing multimedia projects? Choose two principles or theories from the text that you have studied over the past two courses and describe how they will impact you in the future. How do you intend to remain learner-centric in the face of technological developments?
