Why Creating Lesson Plan is Important

A lesson plan is a very important document that is necessary for instructors to help them guide their classroom to make progress in their learning objectives in a more efficient manner. A lesson plan summarizes the objectives of a lesson, the material and resources required by students to complete the lesson, timeline of each learning modules and assessment of students’ learning objectives. Creating a multimedia lesson plan before creating the multimedia content is more important because it helps teachers develop clear teaching objectives and design the learning materials based on the goals for students. Moreover, the lesson plan can be used for future purposes if the instructor will teach the class again. Lesson plan can help adjust the live content based on feedback. This helps instructors design and create content that will create optimal learning methods for students. Assessments for students can also be planned and designed through multiple iteration after receiving feedback. These are some benefits for creating a multimedia lesson plan before creating the multimedia content.

List of Related Principles

Some of the multimedia principles that relates to videos with popup informational text boxes and embedded multiple-choice questions are worked-examples principle and feedback principle. For example, the feedback principle is applied here due to allowing the learners to test their knowledge absorbed from the video by being asked a question related to the topic in a multiple choice question. Worked examples principle is applied here from popup informational text boxes which can give real life example. Another principle that could be applied here is the signalling principle which mentions that people learn better when certain facts in a multimedia document is highlighted or emphasized to the learner.
