Noetel, Michael; Griffith, Shantell; Delaney, Oscar; Harris, Nicola Rose; Sanders, Taren; Parker, Philip; del Pozo Cruz, Borja; Lonsdale, Chris – Review of Educational Research, 2022
Multimedia is ubiquitous in 21st-century education. Cognitive load theory and the cognitive theory of multimedia learning both postulate that the quality of multimedia design heavily influences learning. We sought to identify how to best design multimedia and review how well those learning theories held up to meta-analyses. We conducted an…

Coskun, Atakan; Cagiltay, Kursat – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: The most challenging task in eye-tracking-based multimedia research is to establish a relationship between eye-tracking metrics (or cognitive processes) and learners' performance scores. Additionally, there are current debates about the effectiveness of animations (or simulations) in promoting learning in multimedia settings.…

A Review of Animation Research in Computer-Based Instruction.
Rieber, Lloyd P. – 1989
Although the use of animated visuals is both common and popular among computer based instruction (CBI) designers, the theoretical and empirical foundation for their use have not been firmly established. Animated visuals represent a subset of instructional visuals, not a distinctive set. For this reason, general conclusions from research on static…
