ABSTRACT
In Chapters 3 and 4 we looked at reading and information handling with multimedia. Here our attention shifts to more general considerations of teaching and learning with multimedia, illustrated within a variety of settings. The introduction of multimedia into schools is leading to a change of focus from content-free to content-rich or ‘content-heavy’ programmes. That change creates a challenge for researchers, teachers and students to learn to examine the selection and presentation of text, sound and images and their contribution to learning.
