Empirical research on the Effect of Dynamic Media for Information Presentation

This paper presents empirical research on the effect on dynamic media for information presentation. Media designers and teachers who want to apply new technology in education need empirically derived guidelines in order to either develop effective presentations or know which media to employ. We aim for information-content related guidelines for dynamic presentations. Currently only fragments for such guidelines do exist. Results of current research are weak in reporting a promising pedagogical effect of dynamic media. Hence, the employment of dynamic media should be more critically evaluated. 1
