-Firstly, I had read the comment on this blog. I thought my texts were too much or over-present in my PowerPoint. I agree that this problem will affect and lose audience interest at some point. So, I recreated my PowerPoint slide based on the PowerPoint strategy lesson that we had learned a couple of weeks ago. Also, I did record again based on what I had in my slides. I took down some words, recreate words to graphics, and added more pictures because I want to emphasize the modality principle. The modality principle explains how humans learn better through visual and spoken words rather than from printing boring words. It will create images immediately once the audience receives information by hearing it, so they do not need to look for evidence.
-Secondly, I did slow down a bit for my audio presentation with a pause between each slide. I want to improve my personalization principle to let the audience process the information first before I go on to the next page. It also helps me on segmenting principle that I divided some content into two pages. Then I will not run into problems like so much information on one page. For the multiple-choice, I did pause to let the audience write it and think about it while learning. Furthermore, with the important context, I did make a red poster to catch the audience’s eyes. So, they know what to focus on and what is important.
-Overall, I did rethink and recreate my PowerPoint. And I hope everyone did learn something through my quick introduction on friendship and relationship and also see how both will influence our lives.

Video about Psychology to focus on friendship and relationship:

-Firstly, I thought I need to work on dual coding and information processing to make short-term memory moving to long-term memory. Due to that thinking, I was using the split attention principle to make my add-on picture showing at the same time while I am talking about that concept. Then multiple questions represent after the picture because it will help to test whether the audience is engaging or not. Also, it can reflect how well they are learning.
-Secondly, I am using the redundancy principle to make both text/picture and sounds. If they want to look at the picture, the video will pause for the audience to look at it without too much information at once. I am giving the options if the audience prefers to listen and watch the video they can, but if they do not they can mute my mic and just look at a picture that pops up before multiple-choice.
-Thirdly, I am improving my spatial & temporal contiguity principle that the pop-up box has shown both picture and little text demo at the same time on the same page. So, audiences will not need to go back and force. At the same time, I am using the signaling principle to make important words red and let audiences pay close attention. Those small signals will give them the warning to let them know the pop quiz will test on it.
-Overall, I hope I think I make some changes to the original one and make it more interesting because I learn how to make a plan first before I dive into my video. I learn how important to think in the audience’s way and interaction can be beneficial through the learning.
