Popis: | Advances in technology now make it possible to augment the format of traditional journal articles with integrated multimedia features that include sound, video, dynamic images and interactivity. The purpose of this report is to explore some of the issues involved in taking such a step. The theoretical rationale for how interactive multimedia journal (IMMJ) articles can support the reader's comprehension processes is present, based on earlier research on the effects of using various media to accompany text and narration. We discuss some of the limitations and problems in the use of the IMMJ format, based on our initial experiences with a prototype used to communicate a complex multimedia‐based instructional intervention. We conclude with recommendations for how to use this format most effectively, avoid common pitfalls, and develop initial tests of its impact on audiences. |
