Strauss, Judy; Corrigan, Hope; Hofacker, Charles F. – Marketing Education Review, 2011
Sensory overload and split attention result in reduced learning when instructors read slides with bullet points and complex graphs during a lecture. Conversely, slides containing relevant visual elements, when accompanied by instructor narration, use both the visual and verbal channels of a student's working memory, thus improving the chances of…

Gellevij, Mark; van der Meij, Hans; de Jong, Ton; Pieters, Jules – Journal of Experimental Education, 2002
Compared multimodal instruction with text and pictures with unimodal text-only instruction as 44 college students used a visual or textual manual to learn a complex software application. Results initially support dual coding theory and indicate that multimodal instruction led to better performance than unimodal instruction. (SLD)

Srinivasan, Sribhagyam; Han, Ningchun; Lewis, Daphne; Crooks, Steven M. – Association for Educational Communications and Technology, 2004
This study focuses on the effects of map display and modality on learning geographical maps in a computer-based environment. Participants were randomly assigned to four versions of a computer program created by crossing two levels of map display (hypertext vs. rollover) with two levels of modality (audio vs. audio and text). Results showed that…
