Aliocha’s blog post is focused on a presentation video about Simone Biles that she created. The post also describes how the video follows multimedia principles, along with Do’s and Don’t from David Phillips talk on slides. I enjoyed reading the bullet point summary of multimedia principles followed and the mention of using Ariel font.
As Aliocha mentions, her video follows the Redundancy, Multimedia, Modality, and Signalling principles. In addition to this I enjoyed that it follows the voice principle, since there is a human voice presenting rather than a machine generated voice. I also liked that it followed the pre-training principle, since the video begins by explaining the key concept of who Simone Biles is.
Furthermore, Aliocha’s video follows Cognitive Load theory, since it does not have an overload of information on each slide and each slide has a discussion on one main concept.
I wonder if adding a personal touch would help to capture the learners attention. For example, saying “I am a big fan of Simone Biles because she is an inspiration for women in gymnastics”, since it would follow the personalization principle.
Overall this is a great blog post. I enjoyed reading it and watching the presentation!
