Research-based Pointers on Incorporating Multimedia Elements
A great article on designing learning experiences, maximizing the benefits of visuals, text, and audio is available on Adobe's site at: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/max_learning_03.html
This article is based on the research of Richard Mayer, among others. Mayer has been a recognized leader in the field for over 30 years.
Of particular interest is a diagram which shows how to incorporate audio and visual effects to enhance learning, based on audience considerations. That is available at: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/max_learning/fig01.jpg
