  3. Visuals Matter! “Visuals and text/auditory input are processed in separate channels, presenting the potential for simultaneous augmentation of learning. The bottom line is that students using well-designed combinations of visuals and text learn more than students who use only text.” Research Summary From “Multimodal Learning Through Media: What the Research Says” commissioned by Cisco Systems, Inc
