The Design and Development of Multimedia Presentation Modes in
Reducing Cognitive Load for Students Different in Cognitive
Style Source: Universiti Sains Malaysia Researchers have
reported mixed results with deploying linear mode and segmented
mode. The study demonstrated that simply incorporating two types
of multimedia presentation mode into learning environments may
not always be sufficient to improve learning. Segmented mode
that provides individual control over random access to content
may lead to better learning outcomes and higher learner
satisfaction. The study offered an explanation for inconsistent
findings reported in previous studies. It suggests that
segmented mode can be a valuable means to improve learning
effectiveness in e-learning environments; it is proved that
there is a significant difference in student's achievement using
linear mode and segmented mode at the significant level 0.05.
