Principle in Action
The Quantum Atlas is a web-based approachable guide to quantum physics intended for non-experts. It uses cartoons, animations and interactive elements to explain concepts that are extraordinarily difficult to understand through pure text. This multimedia approach allows learners to build both verbal and visual mental models, enhancing understanding by connecting concepts across different types of representations.

What multimedia elements are currently present in your educational product?
Are they the most effective multimedia format in clarifying the specific concepts in your learning experience?
How will you ensure that multimedia elements are integrated in a way that supports, rather than distracts from, the core learning content?
Principle Definition
Use multimedia aids to enhance verbal descriptions. When words and pictures are both presented, learners have an opportunity to construct verbal and visual mental models and to build connections between them.
