Date: 2022-12-07

Join us as the elearningdesigners.org team chats with  Dr. Richard Mayer, a prolific educational researcher and Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of California Santa Barbara. 

In this interview with Dr. Richard Mayer, we ask him whether Mayer’s Principles and Accessibility can coincide and what an ideal "dream world" might look like.  We learn more about the types of learners that were involved in the research that led to the creation and continual re-validation of Mayer’s Principles. 

We explore common misinterpretations of his principles and have a deeper discussion about the importance of understanding boundary conditions and why the principles should not be interpreted as singular sentences in isolation. 

Dr. Richard Mayer was named the #1 most productive educational psychologist in the world in Contemporary Educational Psychology. As of this video’s release on December 06, 2022, his work has been cited 192,563 times on Google Scholar alone. We are so lucky and appreciative to have had this opportunity to interview one of Learning Science’s brightest minds and a true living legend in the educational world.
