On Multimedia Factors Effecting Learning

Authors

Abstract

Learning process can be stimulated by presenting information via multiple media formats. This paper is devoted to finding relations between learning styles, learning preferences and information being presented in a variety of formats. These relations are formally presented by applying methods from the theory of formal concept analysis. The enclosed concept lattice illustrates the effect of learning styles, learning orientations and various multimedia inputs on learning. It is worth noting that there is some evidence that complex learner control functions can be counter-productive in terms of educational outcomes.
