Support Multimedia Learning

Research shows that well-designed multimedia content can help learners construct deeper conceptual understanding, as learners use different types of media for different learning goals. For example, audio helps learners get the gist of a concept, while text is better for focusing on fine details. Visual aids help us understand things that aren’t adequately conveyed in words.

Revel titles can include a wide variety of content, depending on the product. These multimedia content types include:

An audiobook version of the written text
Visual aids and interactives illustrating complex concepts
Videos adding engaging, real-life examples

Audio learning is a particularly powerful option within Revel. When students have the option to learn through listening, they have more flexibility to learn in ways that work for them. For learners who are less comfortable with reading, audio can require less mental effort, making it easier for them to understand and integrate the content and concepts they are learning. Especially when audio learning is paired with re-reading the text or practicing with active learning tools, students’ understanding is reinforced and strengthened.
