1. If you have an animation showing steps and describing text
Problem: while you view you cannot read
Solution: use narrated animation (modality effect helps you to understand it better)
2. If the pace of the animation is too fast and the content is too rich
Problem: you can’t engage deeper with the content, cognitive overload
Solution: break down the animation into segments – segmenting. Use short breaks or otherwise, give learners prior instruction – penetrating
3. If you have an animation that is too fast with background music
Problem: Incidental processing is occurring
Solution: Weeding – to reduce the load. Make the narration concise and coherent – get rid of irrelevant material. Signalling – guide the learners through the cognitive process using key words in headings.
