My new Google Earth Story has effectively increased knowledge transfer because I met the following multimedia principles:
1. Multimedia principle: I added photos and descriptions to each location.
2. Split-attention principle: Descriptions and pictures were physically integrated.
3. Coherence principle: I deleted some unimportant locations.
4. Segmenting principle: Descriptions and routes are presented in learner-paced segments.
5. Personalization principle: The descriptions were in a conversational style.
Compared to my early version of Google Earth Story, I added descriptions to each location and I added pictures to them. The story briefly introduced some famous locations in France that are near to each other.
