Judging by our testing and a few posts from Reddit users, disabling this effect won't make the fingerprint reader faster or more accurate. For some users, the lack of eye candy might make the unlock process seem faster, but in reality, turning the ripple animation effect off doesn't seem to have any purely-practical uses. This is another visual customization option Samsung had added, so it's most welcomed by those of us who care about such details. Nevertheless, with no performance gains in sight, the feature's importance will be subjective for every individual. Some users will prefer keeping the ripple effect, others will feel better with it turned off.
Whichever camp you reside in, if you own a Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, or Galaxy S20 Ultra and you've received the recent firmware update, you can play around with this new fingerprint-related customization option by opening Settings, accessing Biometrics and security, tapping Fingerprints, and switching the Show animation when unlocking toggle On or Off. Give it a try and feel free to share your personal preference in the comment section.
Multimedia is ubiquitous in 21st-century education. Cognitive load theory and the cognitive theory of multimedia learning both postulate that the quality of multimedia design heavily influences learning. We sought to identify how to best design multimedia and review how well those learning theories held up to meta-analyses. We conducted an overview of systematic reviews that tested the effects of multimedia design on learning or cognitive load. We found 29 reviews including 1,189 studies and 78,177 participants. We found 11 design principles that demonstrated significant, positive, meta-analytic effects on learning and five that significantly improved management of cognitive load. The largest benefits were for captioning second-language videos, temporal/spatial contiguity, and signaling. We also found robust evidence for modality, animation, coherence/removing seductive details, anthropomorphics, segmentation, personalization, pedagogical agents, and verbal redundancy effects. Good design was more important for more complex materials, and in system-paced environments (e.g., lectures) than self-paced ones (e.g., websites). Results supported many tenets of both theories. We highlight a range of evidence-based strategies that could be implemented by educators.
