Multimedia Principle

The Multimedia Principle suggests that people learn better when information is presented through a combination of words and relevant visuals, rather than words alone. For example, a diagram or picture can help clarify complex ideas and make learning more engaging. Using both text and visuals together leverages different ways our brains process information, which improves understanding and retention. This principle is widely used in education, training, and instructional materials to make learning more effective by matching the presentation method to how our minds naturally process information.
