This document summarizes a study on the modality principle's impact on test performance and perceived cognitive load among undergraduate students enrolled in an information systems course in Brazil. The study compared an audio group (AG) that received course content via audio to a text group (TG) that received the same content in text format. It was hypothesized that the AG would outperform the TG on retention and transfer tests and spend less time, but the results found no significant differences between groups. A significant difference was found between accounting and business administration students' performance, but not time spent. The researchers concluded the modality principle was not supported and that instructional designers should provide multiple delivery options to accommodate different learners.
