Abstract
The content development method is one of the most important research topics in e-learning, and this paper assumes the dual-channel model of information processing and presents the results of experiments testing the hypothesis that the information presented by visual content (text, still images) synchronized with audio content (narration) will be comprehended better when a pointer is used to guide the learner’s fixation point. Results of memorization tests and content-understanding tests given after e-learning with various content-presentation formats (narration, text with/without narration, still images, still images plus text with/without narration, video, and video plus text) show that the learner’s acquisition of deep knowledge but not superficial knowledge is facilitated when a pointer is used in the presentation of multimedia content.
