Why multimedia
education is more effective?
Modality and Multimedia
Effects: There is better transfer of
information from animation and narration
than from just animation and on-screen
text alone or solely narration.
Pacing Effect: There is a better transfer
of information when the pace of
e-learning is under learner control
rather than program control.
