We do this by using visual aids, interacting with manipulatives, and discussing things explicitly together. Think of the brain as a highway system, with lots of on and off ramps. There can be multiple ways to get to one location. If there’s heavy traffic on the interstate, you might g...
Providing learners with multiple learning modes can enhance their comprehension, retention, and application of knowledge. Each unique attribute becomes a "modality," and learning using integrated multimodal information is multimodal learning. Different modalities can exist in the same media20. Several ...
