PODCAST

  •  On the cutting edge of current technologies are portable media, where users can download information and take it with them to use it anytime, anywhere. Some of the newest ways of sharing portable information using the Internet are podcasting and vodcasting.
  •  Podcasts are a distribution of audio files such as radio programs or music videos, over the web. 
  • A derivative of the term (and idea) of podcast is “vodcast,” also commonly referred to as a video podcast. 
  • A vodcast functions in much the same way as a podcast, except that instead of users downloading only audio files, they also download corresponding video files to their portable media players. 
  • While one might think that podcasting and vodcasting have the ability to revolutionize education and training, these advances are not stand-alone panaceas. 
  • However they do offer an incredible educational advantage in that their multimedia aspects attend to a variety of learning needs.

New Second Life users select their avatars from generic male and female templates (residents and their avatars don't necessarily share the same gender).

A user can open his or her inventory and choose to put on or remove items, like clothing or hairstyles. Residents can add to an avatar's inventory at any time, creating a practically limitless numbe...

Resim
                 Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning Firstly, let's get to know about the multimedia principle. The multimedia principle states that “people learn more deeply from words and pictures than from words alone”.  However, simply adding words to pictures is not an effective way to achieve multimedia learning.  The goal is to instructional media in the light of how the human mind works.  This is the basis for Mayer’s cognitive theory of multimedia learning.  This theory proposes three main assumptions when it comes to learning with multimedia: There are two separate channels known as auditory and visual for processing information. And, it is also referred to as Dual-coding Theory, Each channel has a limited capacity, Learning is an active process of filtering, selecting, organizing, and integrating information based upon prior knowledge. Humans can only process a finite amount of information in a chan...
