| Abstract | There is a widespread assumption that the addition of still images, animation and sound to text will enhance any information product. The research reported in this paper is investigating such claims for multimedia in an educational context and for a specific user group: grade-six primary school students. The role of text complexity and text type (descriptive or procedural) in influencing the impact of animation was explored. Design criteria such as the level of semantic integration between text and animation, and the importance of including captions with animations, was also investigated. The initial stages of the research used a commercial CD-ROM multimedia product—Compton's Multimedia Encyclopedia—while the later stages have employed multimedia sequences generated for the purposes of the experiments. The findings to date suggest that the impact of multimedia is subtle. Multimedia produced the greatest relative improvement in recall and inference levels in the case of the simple procedural article, but this was also the article which exhibited the greatest integration of text and animation. Experimentation is continuing to establish whether similarly good results can be obtained with a descriptive article when animation integration is improved. Students who have seen only the text are the most successful at recalling what they have read. The addition of animation to a text produces more impact on inference than on recall, and the multimedia group of students scored more highly than the others on inferencing. At a still higher level of comprehension—the ability to identify the main themes in an article or to enact a procedure described in an article—multimedia demonstrated a clear advantage over text alone. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
