4. To be literate, we must make meaning from all the information that is available to us - multi-modal information audio graphical visual tactile symbolic/representational

5. Two Modes Writing = Governed by logic of time Image = Governed by logic of space

6. Learning Sciences Studies in memory have shown that the visual is recalled more easily and more frequently than text One researcher, Paivio, has hypothesized that pictures yield a dual coding system: perception + visual

7. Some Principles Regarding Effective Use of Images and Text Richard Mayer (2001) Multimedia Principle Students learn better from words and pictures than from words alone.

8. Modality Principle Students learn better from an animation accompanied with spoken text, rather than printed text VoiceThread

9. Redundancy Principle Students learn better from an animation accompanied with spoken text rather than animation accompanied with spoken text AND printed text

10. Groupings of Literacies Operational Literacy: Skills related to making meaning from text Cultural Literacy Critical Literacy: Information literacy

11. These tools offer affordances for students to making meaning

12. Reality-Based Learning Learning situations that empower students to take action for the promotion of societal change

13. Deep Learning Supported

• Computer software is central in the learning sciences because the visual and processing power of todays personal computers supports deep learning :

• Computers support reflection in a combination of visual and verbal modes

• Internet-based networks of learners can share and combine their developing understandings and benefit from the power of collaborative learning

• Collaborative knowledge construction environments (Jonassen 1995, Scardamalia & Bereiter, 1994) - computers no longer support ONLY individualized instruction

• Improvement in motivation, learning and problem-solving behaviour (Hoyles, Healy and Pozzi, 1994)
