Pre-Training

=**Pre-Training Module**=
 * This section of the workshop contains multimedia that will enable the participants to develop some prior experience so that the participants will have some prior knowledge to which they can link the learning in the presentation, in order to make sense of the material, and to enable them to select, organize, and integrate the essential material to activate essential and generative processing.**
 * **The participants will access online flashcards which will give the definition of ten terms that represent pre-requisite knowledge for the workshop.**
 * **This multimedia tool is effective for helping the learner to actively process the material since the medium allows the learner to cognitively process the material via dual channels. In keeping with the modality principle (Mayer, 2009), the participants can view text and enable the audio feature so that they can see and hear the content. Some of the flashcards contain images as well which accompany the text simultaneously in keeping with the principle of spatial contiguity (Mayer, 2009).**

 * **This tool also allows the users to move through the flashcards at their own pace so that they can ingest the material in digestible portions. This method satisfies the principle of segmenting which states that, "People learn better when a multimedia message is presented in user-paced segments rather than as a continuous unit" (Mayer, 2009, Segmenting Principle, para. 1).**
 * **The participants will then use the material gleaned from the flashcards to solve the matching puzzle (graphic organizer) below.**
 * **The participant who completes the graphic organizer accurately and the fastest will win a giveaway.**
 * **The participants will receive additional handouts (Please see PDF files below).**
