| Principle | Description |
|---|---|
| Multimedia | Present words and pictures rather than words alone. Bad Example: On-screen text is presented without any visual representation. Good Example: A corresponding visual representation is presented alongside the on-screen text. As a result, the learner builds connections between the verbal and visual representations. |
| Personalization | Use a conversational tone rather than a formal tone. Bad Example: Text The narrator uses formal, passive language. Good Example: Text The narrator uses more conversational, direct language. |
