Optimizing Domain Knowledge Representation with Multimedia Objects

Abstract

This chapter demonstrates the Multiple Representation (MR) approach to represent domain knowledge through multimedia objects (such as audio, pictures, and animations) into a multimedia interface world. Learners are provided with various forms of interactivity to suit the pedagogical goals of the educational systems. We argue that this approach ensures the suitable domain knowledge representation by guiding the multimedia objects selection, navigational objects selection, and integration of multimedia objects to suit different learner needs.
