Week 5- Blog

What have you learned thus far about designing instruction from a multiple media perspective? How do you think the use of visual-text instruction will benefit teaching and learning? What do you think will be potential issues with the use of visual-text instruction? How do you think it will impact your teaching and learning?

What do you think is better about using both images and text? What not? How do you feel about using multiple forms of media instead of a single medium for delivering instruction?

Designing instruction from a multiple media perspective lot better than using one perspective like text only. Learners will be bored and loose interest if they see text only. I think using text with visual instruction is lot better than using text only or visual only. But there still exist potential issues with it. A person who is a first time computer user will have hard time following the instruction even with a picture and instruction.

In my office we got a latest printer and needed to install it. I helped HR manager to fix it. We followed the guide book but we couldn’t find out how to install it. That printer had so many features and in handbook it was shown with pictures but it took me 2 days to figure out and fix it. I had seen those picture for first time so didn’t know where would that be on the printer.
