background: considering the assumptions of cognitive load theory and using its reduction and optimization strategies in the design and development of instructional content is one of the main requirements for achieving effective learning. this study examined the effectiveness of instructional multimedia based on reducing the extraneous cognitive load in english language learning among nursing st...

Abstract This study examined the relationship between grade and ability of text-picture integration in terms task completion pattern using textual pictorial information. Children ( N = 144) from secondary schools were recruited 5 8. Analyzing time spent with multimedia unit prior to an incorrect response, this suggests that 5th graders tend give up relatively early compared 8th graders. Further...

Multimedia applications are the most dominant workload in desktop and mobile computing. Such applications regularly process continuous sequences of data and can be naturally represented under the stream programming domain to take take advantage of domain-specific optimizations. Exploiting characteristics specific to multimedia programs can provide further significant impact on performance for t...

In this paper, the problem of complex interface development when adding multimedia features is analyzed. A model is proposed which focuses mainly in managing the complexity of control, a problem largely ignored in many approaches. This model is integrated into a whole development methodology for composing arbitrarily complex multimedia interfaces. A system implementing this model is presented, ...

An interactive multimedia computer-assisted instruction on congenital heart disease was developed to increase nursing students' understanding of congenital heart disease. Computer-assisted instruction, with its ability to incorporate sound, visuals, and interactivity, provides a multimedia and interactive learning environment that enhances the teaching and learning process. Computer-assisted in...
