Abstract
The goal of this study was to improve our understanding of the design principles governing the creation of screen captured video tutorials. Participants were randomly assigned to the redundant (video, narration and text) and the nonredundant (video and narration) groups and presented with a MS Publisher tutorial. Results indicated that learners in the nonredundant group applied less mental effort, had greater conceptual knowledge, and also demonstrated higher troubleshooting task performance efficiency in comparison with the redundant group. Procedural task scores were non-conclusive due to the ceiling effect. Results are discussed in terms of cognitive load theory and cognitive theory of multimedia learning.
