Optimizing Multimedia Learning Objects for Learning in a Procedural-based Course

The prevalent use of multimedia learning objects in instructions particularly in e-learning platforms has spurred the interests of many studies to investigate their usability and effectiveness. It is, however, equally important to align proven instructional design principles in the design process...
