Multimedia offers exciting possibilities for meeting the needs of 21st century learners. Multimedia learning can be defined in a number of ways. For the purposes of this paper we define multimedia learning as the delivery of instructional content using multiple modes that include visual and auditory information and student use of this information to construct knowledge.
- Effective multimedia recognizes that working memory has a limited capacity to process information.Effective multimedia presentations take advantage of both the auditory and visual channels in working memory to deliver content. Using multiple channels increases the overall amount of information the brain can process.
- Effective multimedia understands that text may be particularly challenging to process, with involvement from both the visual and auditory channels required.
- Effective multimedia presentations recognize that long-term memory organizes information into meaningful chunks called schema.
- Presenting information in a way that makes use of existing organizing structures (schema) or that helps students organize the information can greatly assist the learner in incorporating information into Long Term memory.
