psychological study
human can grasp 80%
knowledge visually,
15 % through hearing
& 5% with the rest of
the sensory items.

34. • So it becomes necessary to present the
content by attractive means. Computer
technology helps us to provide rich
presentation.
• To provide rich presentation, it is necessary to
use the various components like:-
1. Text matter presentation
2. Animation presentation
3. Graphic presentation
4. Audio presentation
5. Video presentation
Computer Aided Teaching has become popular now
