Learner expertise and mathematics different order thinking skills in multimedia learning

The seminar will present a design of digital material for mathematics concept learning. The material was developed using multimedia learning principles to maximize the use of learner cognitive capacity. We will share how learner expertise and multimedia design affect the development of different mathematical order thinking skills, and suggest useful practical implications for instructional designers and teachers.
