This document discusses the effectiveness of using multimedia in teaching. It notes that students learn in different ways and multimedia provides teachers varied formats to convey information through videos, CDs, simulations and other tools. However, multimedia resources can be limited by school budgets. Vision Learning provides integrated web-based tools to make developing multimedia presentations easy for teachers. An activity was also conducted with first standard students from private and government schools to assess the impact of multimedia on developing students' understanding and analytical skills.
