In a systematic review, 194 studies on learning from animation were analysed. The analysis
covers the learning domains, the representational characteristics of the animations, the …

Cognitive models of multimedia learning such as the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia
Learning (Mayer 2009) or the Cognitive Load Theory (Sweller 1999) are based on different …

This meta-analysis investigated whether animation is beneficial overall for learning
compared to static graphics, while also identifying moderator factors affecting the global …

Two experiments used eye tracking to investigate a novel cueing approach for directing
learner attention to low salience, high relevance aspects of a complex animation. In the first …

Our commentary explores the questions of why and when does instructional video facilitate
learning in the light of the findings reported in this special issue and previous literature …

The effectiveness of animations containing two novel forms of animation cueing that target
relations between event units rather than individual entities was compared with that of …

The potential educational benefits of animation arise from its capacity to portray temporal
change directly and explicitly. However, these benefits come with associated costs that can …

Despite the rapid and widespread adoption of animations in education, there is still no
systematic account of the main characteristics of expository animations that have been …

The results of three meta-analyses show that the effectiveness of learning from animations,
when compared to learning from static pictures, is rather limited. A recent re-analysis of one …

The time course of learners' processing of a complex animation was studied using a
dynamic diagram of a piano mechanism. Over successive repetitions of the material, two …
