1. Static illustrations
   1. Diagrams provide the learner with the utilization of computational offloading.
   2. Self explanations lending themselves to multimedia environments
   3. If multimedia environments are better than single media environments...
2. Introduction
   1. Cognitive Load
      1. Topic
   2. Self explanation
      1. integration and deeper understanding
      2. Self Explanation involves cognition
      3. Self explanation places large cognitive demand on learner, but is "deeply constructive" (Roy & Chi, 2007)
      4. How is self explanation measured in studies?
         1. The difference between high quality and low quality (Roy & Chi, 2005).
            1. The relationship between high and low quality and learning gains (Roy & Chi, 2005)
      5. Validation
      6. A degree of uncertainty
      7. The studies show that learners can be trained to self explain successfully. (Roy & Chi, 2005)
      8. Attributes of self explanation (Roy & Chi, 2005)
         1. Nonformal
         2. can be incorrect or incomplete
   3. Diagrams
      1. Static and multimedia diagrams support self-explanation
3. Hypermedia illustrations
   1. Supporting constructive activity
   2. Self explanation suited for multimedia learning
   3. Evidence of metacognition in a multimedia environment
      1. Metacognitive self explanation allows the person time to explain and correct his "mental model" (Roy & Chi, 2007)
