Accessibility in Multimedia: Updating the Theories Behind Online Course Design
This session examines recent developments in instructional design theories that impact how we prepare and present online content.
Convenience and accessibility have instigated strong growth in the deployment of computer facilitated learning, but the wide variations in design approaches seen today indicates the value of promulgating research-based guidelines for these courses. This session examines recent developments in instructional design theories that impact how we prepare and present online content. Special emphasis will be given to the relationship between UDL and the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning, especially how Mayer’s recent research on boundary conditions can support the tenets of UDL for learners of all abilities. Examples of accessible multimedia instruction will be shown, as well as empirical data on the efficacy of various presentation styles.
