Mayer’s Multimedia Principle (2009) stands out for me as it highlights the importance of organizing information as a collective unity that at it most avoids what he points out as “extraneous materials” (p. 89). Since interactive learning requires a lot of personal engagement with the received information, I think this principle helps me to grasp its purpose used for pedagogy.
When I first see the phrase “augmented reality” I think of the Live function used in Google Maps. After learning the course materials I realized that it also involves its fields of application further in engineering, designing, the medical field, and so as the field of teaching and learning. My primary gain of understanding this concept in relation to teaching and learning is that it highlights the idea of mutual accessibility. With the premise of a supportive technical device for information input and output, it opens an open learning space for everyone to experience knowledge. It is also relates to a major point of interactive learning – the hands on learning process.
Despite the examples shown in the course materials, what I think of is that AR can also be used in natural sciences classrooms. It can visualize chemical compounds and detailing outs their movements for students to learn chemistry theories. It would be particularly helpful if used for explaining 3D models for maths class. It would be extremely helpful in art classes as it is capable at it most illustrating art works in museums without physical constrictions.

Hello Judy
I am very glad to see your sharing. I agree with you very much. Through your examples in the article, I understand what “augmented reality” is and know many new words. In the era of big data information, with the popularization of the Internet, multimedia has been widely used. Multimedia uniformly digitizes information, establishes logical relations between them, and combines them into a whole. At the same time, its operation is also very flexible and convenient, and with the continuous improvement of technology, adapt to the change of market demand, multimedia also added many new elements. It is in this situation that multimedia is needed by more and more people.
Hi Judy,
Thank you for sharing with us your idea, I think you magnificently gave instances of Mayer’s concept of utilizing intuitive learning styles (2009). Before reading your post I was not aware that google maps use “Augmented reality” in their application, so that was a first for me. In addition, I found it exceptionally fascinating how you related Mayer’s concept Of utilizing an intuitive learning style to something practically everyone uses; google maps. I likewise concur with you on how there is common availability. I found it intriguing that many people learn best with sight and sound realization. I think this is essential to the increased reality-as you referenced it permits all the more an involved and intuitive growth opportunity. Much thanks to you for sharing!
