Present+Content+in+Multimedia+Formats

Present content and information in multimedia formats.

In many situations, instructional materials are mainly comprised of text. However, text may not be the best format for presenting certain concepts or processes to students. Additionally, many students may also have difficulties assimilating information solely through text. However, providing alternatives to text (e.g., illustrations, videos, audio, images, graphics, etc.) can make the information more easily comprehensible. Use the following strategies on this page in order to present content and information in multimedia formats.
 * Strategy Description **


 * Practical Application**
 * Present information using videos, images, infographics, concept maps, etc.
 * Include visuals, graphics, and relevant images when lecturing to your students
 * Present the same information in a variety of formats
 * Provide your students with textbook readings, videos, audio clips, etc. when presenting them with important information
 * Vary the method you primarily deliver content to your students


 * Example: **

An education instructor is teaching his students about Bloom's Taxonomy. He usually introduces this topic by assigning a reading to his students. However, after learning about UDL, he decides to present the topic in another multimedia format. In addition to providing the reading, the instructor creates an eLearning presentation using Articulate software.
