My rankings for the Multi modal Learning Principles are as follows:
1. (1) Multimedia Principle - Pictures are important. It gives something to go along with the words.
2. (5) Modality Principle - Animation w/ narration rather helps keep the students tuned in to what is being taught. Animation with on-screen text will provide the opportunity for the student to zone off.
3. (6) Redundancy Principle - I think redundancy is important. If something is repeated over and over, it is remembered.
4. (3) Temporal Contiguity Principle - When you think of the word correspond, you think together. The words and pictures need to be together.
5. (2) Spatial Contiguity Principle - Almost the same thing as Temporal Contiguity Principle. The pictures and words need to be together.
I eliminated (4) Coherence Principle. I strongly disagree that students learn better when extraneous words, pictures, and sounds are excluded rather than included. Students need something to go along with the words to help them remember.
