Guidelines for use of multimedia in the learning process
visuals that complement text increase retention

realism of pictures & graphics facilitate learning

page size, position, text style & color direct

indicate dimension

show simultaneous data or information

show transitions




Animation e.g. The development of the brain, to view this file download a copy of QuickTime
promote motivated concentration

satisfy perception of learner

provide learner with an environment of familiarity

complement/support  text

Excellent for procedural learning
Video, Sound -The Basics of Sailing  e.g., to view this file download a copy of MS Producer for PowerPoint
