Why multimedia education is more effective?

Modality and Multimedia Effects: There is better transfer of information from animation and narration than from just animation and on-screen text alone or solely narration.

Pacing Effect: There is a better transfer of information when the pace of
e-learning is under learner control rather than program control.
