Travel With Me!
One of the best ways to transfer knowledge, learn about a subject or a person is through story telling. Storytelling is great because you have creative license. You keep people engaged and then a conversation can be used to break down barriers by asking each other questions.
I decided to improve on a multimedia object that i did through Google Earth. I decide to redo my google story that represents my journey from Zimbabwe to Canada to attend the University of Victoria. In this story i capture the month I was leading up to me finally landing in Victoria for the start of jump start week.

Segmenting principle was one of the multimedia principles that I decided to use. This principle simply states that people learn better when information is presented to them in small packets of data or segments, rather than a huge stream of data. This principle is important because the learner can control the pace at which they absorb information. This is style is outlined in m story because people are able to go back and forth between slides and each section break has an explanation of what’s to come.
Another principle that is explored on this project is the multimedia principle. This states that individuals learn better from visuals in combination with words. One of the the two as a stand-alone will not work. Most of the presentation is visual and slides that have words describing places of importance on my journey, which I thought would be easy for the consumer to understand. Regarding the cognitive learning theory, transfer of knowledge is concise and easy for anyone to consume. Most of the slides are accompanied by an image that captures and embodies the spirit of the area.
Signalling principle is another multimedia principle that I explored. This principle states that humans learn best when they’re shown the exact information they have to consume. For example, the slide describe exactly what is coming up and this gives a viewers context of what to expect.
