Design Considerations

When designing a presentation it is important to remember to not overload the learning with to much input, so when I designed my storyboard I relied on the multimedia principle, this principal helped to to selected the correct words and graphic that allow the learner to connect with the material, but not to overload them. I choose graphics that were relevant to the text and not so they are not a distraction to the materials being taught. My graphics were simple clean images that added to and did not deter from the content.

I also utilized the Contiguity Principle, by placing the graphics next to the text they relate to the learner does not have to process the information separately, the reconnect them. By placing the graphics in close proximity to text it brings relevance to the text and allows the learner to quickly process the material and apply it in context quickly without cognitive overload.
