Biteable

Using videos for education can be important. Videos can be used to demonstrate certain topics for students to understand better and make the learning more permanent. The use of videos is especially important for language lessons. Learners can be presented with real-life use of language, they can see the proper pronunciation of a word, where and when to use a certain function and more. The internet is filled with videos for any topic. Nevertheless, teachers might not always be able to find the exact video they are looking for. In this case, it would be the best to create their own videos with every criteria they are looking for in a  video.

Biteable is a video making platform. With biteable, you can use the already existing templates and edit them to make your own video. The videos you create will be more personalized for the topic of your lesson. Since you can easily create your own video with biteable, you no longer have to search for the proper video for the topic of your lesson.

The Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning

Resim
The cognitive theory of multimedia learning, which is developed by Richard Mayer, suggests that the use of words and graphics help people learn better by forming mental representations. This theory consists of three assumptions; the dual channel, the limited capacity and the active processing assumption. The dual channel assumption claims that the information is processed through two channels; auditory and visual. According to the limited capacity assumption, each of these channels has a limited capacity and the learning should occur through taking few information at once. The active processing assumption claims that learning is filtering, selecting, organizing and integrating information based on previous knowledge. Mayer’s multimedia learning theory combines these three assumptions and explains the process of learning. According to this theory, the information given goes through sensory memory, working memory and long-term. Firstly, sensory memory filters auditory and visual informat
