The brain-based theory of learning and multimedia

The Brain-Based Theory of Learning and Multimedia The brain-based theory of learning, an eclectic theory that incorporates the cognitive and humanistic views, was researched. Multimedia, a technology which supports the principles of brain-based learning, was then selected as the vehicle to present historical material to students. The goals of the current California History/Social Science Framework as well as new California methods of assessment were addressed during the multimedia dseign process. This author contributed to the cfeatiPn of JFK, The Final 100 Hours, a software package currently being designed by students from California State University San Bernardino, as well as by students from Texas and Florida. This author designed the section of the prototype entitled "Issues." This prototype was presented at the National Educational Computing Conference in Dallas, Texas in June, 1992. The "Issues" section was designed based on the brainbased theory of learning, the goals of the current California History/Social Science Framework, and changes that have taken place in regard to assessment within the state of California.
