Presenting and Representing Knowledge to Develop Understanding

Using multimodality in presentations which include speech, visuals, and gestures, influences cognitive processing load and the subsequent understanding of students. However, having them produce (differing) representations of their knowledge that support descriptions, explanations and problem solving, not only aids reasoning and reflection, but gives insights into the development of the conceptualizations which underpin their understanding. An experimental study gives support to these conclusions.
