How To: Incorporate Multimedia into Documents
By Jeffrey Branzburg
Want to jazz up your presentations and documents? Try using multimedia-a mixture of text, audio, video, graphics, and images. Most major computer-based tools support their use. For example, you can put video into a Word document, audio into Inspiration, and more.
Why use multimedia in a document?
Research studies have shown that higher levels of learning occur when students are presented information via multimedia rather than a single medium. (Nugent, G., 1982.
