A More “Personal” Personalization Principle Definition
We learn more deeply from multimedia lessons when we experience heightened social awareness by interacting with a conversational script or learning agent.

A writing style that uses first and second person constructions, active voice, and speech-like phrases.
Speaking with a friendly human voice
Using polite wording

Personalization Principle 1
We should use conversational instead of formal writing so learners interact with the computer as a social partner
We want to avoid impersonal third person language it turns learners off
![Page 8: Personalization Principle by Group A](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051412/54b352c14a795986398b4576/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why Use Conversational Style?
Research shows we work harder to comprehend when we interact socially
Social cues engage our minds in deeper cognitive processing and deeper learning

How to Use Conversational Style
Instead of a distant third person like in this slide we should use first and second person statements
We can replace “teacher”, “students”, or “learners” with “I”, “my”, “we”, “our”, “you”, or “your”
Our goal is a more user-friendly tone

How to Use Conversational Style
We should use first and second person – replace third person with “I”, “we”, “me”, “my”, “you”, and/or “your”
Impersonal text:
“YouTube is a social networking where people can view and share videos.”
Text after personalization principle applied:
“YouTube is a social networking where you and I can view and share videos.”

Voice Quality
People learn better from agents in eLearning situations when the narrator uses a human voice rather than a machine voice.
Human = Good Machine = Bad

Polite Speech vs. Direct Statements
On-screen agents are more effective when using polite speech and indirect statements that allow the learner freedom of action.

On-Screen Coaches Are characters on the computer screen
that teach learning material
They demonstrate techniques and direct learning
Learners generate more correct responses with on-screen coaches
