Synergy between audio commentary and visuals in multimedia packages

Following a summary of relevant literature, this paper offers a framework of design guidelines for educational multimedia, concentrating on pedagogic synergy between audio commentary and visual elements. The guidelines are grounded in the author's experience of producing and appraising multimedia packages, mainly at the UK Open University. The framework also addresses production techniques, interactive features and narrative coherence.
