Ashford 3: - Week 2 - Discussion 1

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to
respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of
your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion
will be evaluated.

Multimedia Principle
According to the authors of our textbook, instructional designers should consider how words and
pictures work together to create meaning for the learner (p.70). Explain what this means in your own
words. Then, list each type of graphic identified in the text (i.e., decorative graphics, representational
graphics, etc.) and find at least one example for each, using the internet. Evaluate which types of
graphics can be effective in promoting learning, and describe the contexts in which you think they
would be most effective. Remember to cite the location of the graphics you include, as you would any
other resource in a response.
I think that means that the instructor should be sure to remove strong self-inclinations when creating
text and graphics separately or in combination when designing instruction.
