Is Text Dying? Using Multimedia in Learning
I am a big fan of using multimodal communication in my anatomy and physiology courses. These include audio, videos and images in addition to text. My hope is these various modes of communication will facilitate learning better than using one mode.
Research from North Carolina University supports the importance of multimodal communication in learning. Researchers surveyed faculty members with regard to the types of communication used in courses. What they found was that over half of the respondents used multimodal communication with nearly 90% of science faculty doing so as well.
The study underlines the importance and growth of using multimedia in learning. Education continues to move away from text-based learning. I know I will continue to produce videos and other digital media for my students.
