Contiguity Principle #2- The Contiguity Principle 2 can be described as graphics and text are not separated but near the graphics posted. An example is listed below. This meets requirements of the principle because the text is near the graphic showing the solar panels and what they can do on a hut in Niger.

Redundancy Principle #2   Redundancy Principle 2 is described when there are not many visuals and the content is available with redundant narration. This can be found several times in PowerPoint presentations. View the example below of the PowerPoint presentation that would be used in an Orientation for students at the beginning of the school year. There are limited visuals and the narrator would be repeating what is written on the slides. I have screen shot a few slides to give examples. I am unable to link the full presentation on this site.
