Hello Fellow EDCI 337 Peers! My name is Lily Brice, and I am a business commerce student at UVIC. Growing up in Victoria, I have always had a passion for nature and the outdoors. I have 2 cats! But I love all animals, and am both a cat and dog person. In my free time, you can find me reading a good book, going for a hike, or exploring the many parks and beaches that Victoria has to offer. As a business student, I am excited to learn about the various ways in which technology and multimedia can be used to enhance the learning experience. I believe that by incorporating interactive and multimedia elements into the classroom, I can create a more engaging and dynamic learning environment. In addition to my passion for business, I also have a strong interest in law. I am planning to use my business degree as a stepping stone to further my career with a law degree. I believe that by understanding the intersection of business and law, I will be better equipped to navigate the complex legal landscape that businesses operate in today.
Of all the principles of Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning we looked at this week, the ones that seem the most intuitive to me are; the modality principle and the redundancy principle. The modality principle is intuitive because it reflects the way humans naturally process information from the world around us, using multiple senses to form a more complete understanding of our environment. For example, when school went online because of the pandemic we realized that zoom was as close to normal as possible because students need the visual and audible cues. I find the redundancy principle is intuitive because it reflects the way information is typically conveyed in the real world. In many situations, the same message is conveyed through multiple channels, such as through both visual and auditory cues.
Hi, Lily. Nice to meet you. I like your opinion on multimedia, which makes me think differently about multimedia.
I also have a cat. For a person who loves animals, he helps me a lot. I believe your cats are the same as you.
Nice to meet you, Lily! I agree with your points, the redundancy principle is very intuitive in how we learn every day, so it is important to address and acknowledge it to allow us to leverage it further in learning. Although it may seem so obvious sometimes, I can definitely count a few times when istructurs forget we learn using theories such as the dual coding theory, and they overlook the visual sapect of the theory in further aiding to the comprehension of their material. Well done!
Hi Lily,
I completely resonate with what you said regarding Victoria’s beautiful landscape and beaches. I decided to move to Victoria due to the warm weather and its proximity to the ocean. I am also a big reader, and I am currently searching for a new book so let me know if you have read anything memorable recently (I tend to gravitate toward memoirs). Regarding the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning principles, I also found the modality principle most intuitive. As a visual learner, I understand the benefit of images, but I obtain an even stronger grasp of information when combined with auditory descriptions. I enjoyed your example of zoom calls and found it a great way to highlight the principle. Thank you for your post; it was great learning a little about you!
Hey Lily! Morgan here, I am super excited to be apart of your group as it seems we have so much in common! I am also in commerce second year, love hiking, and am defiantly an animal person 🙂 I think it is so cool you want to go into law, and would love to hear more about that passion in the future. I also really like your take on this weeks lesson, good examples!
