Multimedia Learning Objects and Artifacts: Graphics & Infographics

Hi Yixuan,

I am so impressed by your Dragon Boast Festival poster designed by Canva. You chose the template with three parts and included the most important history, traditional food and dragon boat match into the poster. Anyway, I think you did a good job. Besides, I agree with you that graphics and infographics are important parts in multimedia teaching. These two elements can firstly catch students’ eyes and strengthen their impression on the contents in the class. However, there are some key theories when teachers use graphics and infographics in the lesson plan. As it is stated in this week’s reading material, do not include more than six objects in one slide. Generally speaking, teachers should make clear the process and theories of visual objects and artifacts when they design the multimedia lessons.
