Multimedia technology has been widely used in the delivery of instructional material, but previous studies have indicated that individual differences, especially cognitive styles, have significant effects on users’ preferences with respect to presentation of multimedia content. However, such research has thus far neglected to examine the effect of cognitive styles on users’ subjective perceptio...

Given the recent development of Intelligent Multimedia Authoring ("IMA") systems, there are few well-developed associated methodologies for authoring courseware. System designers have therefore turned to the automation of instructional design models, originally developed for traditional teaching. In this paper we describe one case of automating a specific instructional design model in an IMA sy...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Extension employees' learning styles and their performance in three different types of learning environments: traditional face-to-face instruction, minimally interactive online instruction, and highly interactive, multimedia-rich online instruction. Keith Golay's Learning Pattern Assessment and a ten-question post-test were u...

For college graduates to be successful in today’s global economy there has been an increasing demand for them to possess business knowledge as well as technical knowledge. To meet the demand, curriculum designers have sought to integrate new technologies, applications, data, and business functions into classrooms so that non-information technology (IT) majors can realize the benefits of IT. Thi...

This study attempts to analyze and evaluate theories and design principles for design and development of multimedia program for teaching and learning Arabic vocabulary. The researchers mentioned about the research tools, research samples and steps which are related to the design and development process. The study proposes the implementation of social constructivism theory proposed by Vygotsky (...

This paper describes a process model for designing and implementing instruction using various multimedia instructional materials. Our model takes a scenario-based approach as its central concept. It conceptualizes the whole process of evolving multimedia instructional material as a double-loop of activities in which teachers and students work together to enrich it. The external loop comprises p...

Next generation computer and communications technology for instructional environments is expected to accelerate progress in distributed and collaborative learning and interactive multimedia courseware. Various industry and international standards groups are currently creating specifications which will define a framework for how this technology will be structured. These standards encompass distr...

Design of usable and useful interactive systems requires a model that explains the activities and context of use. Similarly, design of instruction requires a valid model that illustrates the activities of student and teacher in class and classroom context. This paper describes a process model for designing and implementing instruction using various multimedia instructional materials. Our model ...
