Abstract:
Research on the effectiveness of animated virtual human representation towards psychomotor learning is still
lacking. Recent studies show that animation is effective in learning procedural tasks. Instructional animation
is a form of animation designed to educate viewers. The purpose of this paper is to lay out a conceptual design
framework for studies of the instructional animation design for psychomotor learning. Three theoretical
approaches are considered in constructing the conceptual framework: (1) Learning Theories; (2) Instructional
Video Design; and (3) Virtual Human Representation. Together, these theoretical fields complement one
another and explain different viewpoints on this complex subject. Relating to earlier studies on types of visual
representation may elucidate the ways in which animation can be applied for motor skill acquisition.
