An experiment examined the effects of visual signalling to relevant information in multiple
external representations and the visual presence of an animated pedagogical agent (APA) …

This study tested the hypothesis that animated pedagogical agents (APAs) can effectively
support students' learning by signaling visual information in multiple-representation learning …

Background Prior studies have shown that visual signaling improves learning from text or
narration in conjunction with one depictive visual representation; however, engineering …

In this chapter, I review the theoretical and empirical work on the use of animated
pedagogical agents (APAs) in multimedia learning. After defining APAs and reviewing some …

Two experiments explored the integration of animated agents into multimedia environments
in the context of RE Mayer's (2001) cognitive theory of multimedia learning. Experiment 1 …

The goal of the present study is to determine how to incorporate social cues such as
gesturing in animated pedagogical agents (PAs) for online multimedia lessons in ways that …

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 …

In this study, three experiments were conducted to explore whether adding eye movement
modeling examples (EMME) to a short narrated animation could facilitate visual processing …

Students experience challenges when understanding visual information in multimedia
learning. Specifically, immersive multimedia environments, such as virtual reality increase …

College students (in Experiment 1) and 7th-grade students (in Experiment 2) learned how to
design the roots, stem, and leaves of plants to survive in 8 different environments through a …
