Duo coding theory suggests that verbal elements are processed in one way in the human brain while graphics are processed differently with the same brains. Now that these pathways are accessed concurrently, so I canĀ can utilize these advantages by using the two teaching channels. Verbal teaching and visual teaching enhance the students’ understanding. This helps in lessening the cognitive load bearing on the memory work of the students. Also, the theory ties the two processed channels together as the students can encode them into their long-term memory, thus resulting in a dual coding effect. (IvanoviÄ, 2017)
Duo coding enhances PowerPoint presentation as it combines verbal, text, picture, and video presentation. Students better understand when there are combinations of the message and the pictures of videos; duo coding, therefore, allows the learners to access and encode new information to allow the students to remember better and access what they have learned. Duo coding enables one to make complex ideas more manageable in a presentation. It allows meĀ to make slide show presentations to create classroom vocabulary that students will build metaphors for big concepts.
Duo coding enables meĀ to combine images or pictures with text while teaching using a PowerPoint presentation. Both students and teachers can also use duo coding. For instance, teachers can keep duo coding in mind while preparing their lessons. For example, PowerPoint slides can be designed to incorporate graphics and texts together to enhance class understanding. Also, graphic organizers can be provided to students to facilitate their learning in a targeted visual way.

I agree with the idea of using double coding in teaching, students will better understand knowledge because verbal teaching and visual teaching can improve studentsā comprehension and attract studentsā interest. Through your introduction, I have also developed a further understanding of dual coding. For example, dual coding helps to reduce the cognitive burden on studentsā memory work and helps students remember this knowledge for a long time. I really liked how you explained and I am wondering if you can tell me more about does dual coding theory only apply to Indo-European languages teaching and how about other subjects or other languages?

Great to see you posting and getting into your OpenEtc WordPress. Interesting ideas about how you frame dual coding. Excited to read more posts and see how you may add in some multimedia (pics, video, audio, podcast, etc.)
