I was at a Conference (very briefly) this week that was considering the importance of Moving Image Education, Multimodal Learning and Digital Literacy in schools.
As part of my preparation for sitting on the panel at the start of the day I cam across this Research Whitepaper from Cisco which is about Multimodal Learning Through Media: What the Research Says.
It starts off by challenging the classic assumption "We remember 10% of what we read, 20% of what we hear etc.". It then draws from neuroscience to put in place a more robust theoretical framework for examining the impact of different media combinations on learning, in particular a mix of the verbal and visual.
It makes an interesting read for anyone interested in this sort of stuff!
Is it too complex to summarize the results? Nothing? Since it is published by Cisco, there is reason to worry about bias. Did you see any of that?

Yep, of course I did? That is why its only 'interesting' not definitive as I didn't do the research myself. Have you any other good links? Ollie

I came across this website, which debunked "Dale's Cone of Experience", a few years ago.

I wonder if the author of the Cisco paper was"influenced" by this website?
