The multimedia design of presentations typically ignores that younger and older adults have varying cognitive strengths and weaknesses. We examined whether differential instructional design may enhance learning in these populations. Younger and older participants viewed one of three computer-based presentations: Audio only (narration), Redundant (audio narration with redundant text), or Complem...

Dans un paysage muséographique qui fait la part belle aux dispositifs immersifs, l’équipe d’Universcience a produit une exposition mise sur l’immersion via narration. L’exposition Renaissances exploite habilement l’aptitude du cerveau humain à tirer parti des émotions suscitées par les récits, non seulement pour mieux comprendre bouleversements monde, mais aussi engager réflexion solutions pote...

I attempted to compare and contrast Holmes’ narration in The Blanched Soldier and The Lion’s Mane with Watson’s narration in A Study in Scarlet. I explored narratological theories and previous research done on Watson’s narration in order to find an...

The ability to build and control exposure through a seamless synergy of interaction and narration is strongly required by a new type of immersive VR training and therapy systems. This paper presents a practical approach for immersive VR training and therapy applications based on Interactive Narration Space (INS). The approach satisfies both interaction and narration requirements through the use...

Les conferences ont porte sur deux themes traites en alternance : la narration images et l’organisation du territoire dans le royaume armenien de Cilicie.

Animated pedagogical agents have become popular in multimedia learning with combined delivery of verbal and non-verbal forms of information. In order to reduce unnecessary cognitive load caused by such multiple forms of information and also to foster generative cognitive processing, multimedia design principles with social cues are suggested (Mayer, 2014a). This study presents the design model ...
