Examining the Cognitive Challenges and Pedagogical Opportunities of Integrated Media Systems: Toward a Research Agenda

We are proposing that researchers begin to examine integrated media design issues both in terms of cognitive challenges posed by multimedia for students with learning problems and the specific pedagogical opportunities for enhancing learning. By embarking on this line of research, the field will gain a body of empirical knowledge that will add significantly to our understanding of how integrated media learning systems affect learning in mildly disabled students as well as provide direction for future product development.
