Lai, Ah-Fur; Chen, Chih-Hung; Lee, Gon-Yi – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
Reading has been regarded as a medium for learning science, revealing the importance of enhancing learners' reading competence in science education. The critical features of science texts are their multiple representations, such as text and visual elements, which assist the representation of science concepts. A multimedia learning environment can…

Anastopoulou, Stamatina; Sharples, Mike; Baber, Chris – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
This paper explores the value of employing multiple modalities to facilitate science learning with technology. In particular, it is argued that when multiple modalities are employed, learners construct strong relations between physical movement and visual representations of motion. Body interactions with visual representations, enabled by…

Yildiz, Rauf; Atkins, Madeleine – British Journal of Educational Technology, 1996
Examines the effect of 3 different types of multimedia simulation (physical, procedural, and process) for teaching the concept of energy to 14-year-old students. Pre- and posttest results showed significant, consistent cognitive gain for the physical simulation; and a more complex and varied pattern of interaction between type of simulation and…
