[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Multimodel learning study

[Lesley Farmer]

In general, multimodal learning has been shown to be more effective
than traditional, unimodal learning. Adding visuals to verbal (text
and/or auditory) learning can result in significant gains in basic and
higher-order learning. The meta-analytic findings in this report
provide insights into when interactivity augments multimodal learning
of moderately to complex topics, and when it is advantageous for
students to work individually when learning or building automaticity
with basic skills.Metiri Group. (2008). Multimodal Learning Through
