Multimedia Lab
Multimedia learning environments are often defined by the combined presentation
of verbal and pictorial information sources. Regarding the efficiency of
multimedia learning environments, research has generated many principles concerning
the way verbal and pictorial information should be presented in order to best
enable learning.
However, these principles themselves are often only superficially based on basic
principles of cognition and perception of information processing.
Therefore, this lab seeks to take results
originating from fundamental research and specific paradigms into account, to gain deeper
insights into the processes involved in learning with multimedia.
The cube illustrates the research approach of the Multimedia lab: We
systematically investigate which processes play a decisive role in multimedia
learning and whether these same processes translate into different thematic domains.
We achieve this by combining different methods, thematic domains and experimental variations.
