Aktuelles
- 21/09/2021: As announced before, we will offer you one more opportunity to re-take the MML exam. This will be the last chance for examination in this course as it will be discontinued. This opportunity is reserved for anyone who failed the prior exam, could not participate in the prior exam, or urgently needs to improve their grade. After assessing the demand, we decided to perform remote oral exams on October 13th (afternoon) and 14th (morning). Please register via Uni2Work until September 30th ("MML re-take oral exam") to participate in this examination. The concrete time slots will be assigned after the registration deadline.
- 28/06/2021: As of today, you can register for the MML exam via Uni2work. More details on the exam below.
- 26/05/2021: As this will very likely be the last year we offer the MML course, we encourage everyone who wants to get the credits for this course to take part in the regular exam. We will, however, offer a second examination option only for those who urgently need it (e.g., those of you who either failed the first exam or had absolutely no chance of participating in the first exam). We can not say for sure yet what format this second exam will have or when exactly it will take place (likely to be somewhere around October 2021). More information on the exams below.
- 26/03/2021: As of now you can enroll for the MML course this summer term. Details on the registration can be found in the section "Course enrollment".
- 03/03/2021 This lecture is targeted at students of Master level. The lecture, all teaching materials, and the tutorials will be offered in English language only.

Content
The lecture will be held online. There will be NO presence lectures. The online course contains interactive material.
The lecture "Multimedia-Based Learning Environments" addresses the use of multimedia technologies to support the learning process and teaching situations.
This lecture targets an audience with a computer science background. The goal of this lecture is to provide solid background knowledge in cognitive, educational, and media psychology to understand the design and use of educational software systems. Still, the focus of the lecture and the tutorials is on building a bridge between theoretical insights on information processing and learning and the practical application of technologies.
The lecture introduces the theoretical foundations of human learning processes from a psychological perspective, in particular, the main theories of learning: Behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. It discusses the interface and architecture of various types of learning environments based on these theories. Special emphasis is put on theories explaining the potential and limitations of multimedia technologies for learning. Since usage of multimedia is often said to have positive effects on learner motivation, we further discuss some theoretical background of motivation theories. With an engineering perspective, the development and design process of learning applications is discussed in detail. Additionally, we will introduce the basics of Multimedia didactics as well as principles of cooperative learning and the potential for technology support.

Rules for Online Teaching
While LMU is closed, most teaching happens currently online. As teachers, we ask you to be forgiving if things should not work perfectly right away, and we hope for your constructive participation. In this situation, we would also like to explicitly point out some rules, which would be self-evident in real life:- In live meetings, we ask you to responsibly deal with audio (off by default) and bandwidth (video as needed).
- Recording or redirecting streams by participants is not allowed.
- Distributing content (video, audio, images, PDFs, etc.) in other channels than those foreseen by the author is not allowed.
