The Cambridge handbook of multimedia learning

"As the first and only comprehensive research-based handbook on multimedia learning, The Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning has helped define and shape the field, and has become recognized as its major reference work. Since the publication of the first edition in 2005 and the second edition in 2014, the field of multimedia learning has continued to grow as a coherent discipline with an accumulated research base worthy of being synthesized and organized in an updated handbook. Therefore, we are pleased to serve as editors for this third edition of The Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning, which remains the most comprehensive and up-to-date volume summarizing research and theory in the field of multimedia learning. This third edition of The Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning constitutes the latest progress report from the world's leading multimedia researchers. As in previous editions, the focus of this volume is on how to help people learn from words and pictures, particularly in computer-based environments. For purposes of the Handbook, multimedia learning is defined as learning from words (e.g., spoken or printed text) and pictures (e.g., illustrations, photos, maps, graphs, animation, or video)"--
