From the supplier: The Univ of Massachusetts at Lowell has adopted multimedia technology in an effort to improve science and math teaching. The national failure rate in introductory science and math classes is as high as 50 percent; one contributing cause may be the huge size of these classes. When 200 or more students are crammed into a lecture hall, they have a hard time reading the chalkboard or listening to the teacher. UMass Lowell attacked this problem by installing a ceiling-mounted projection system. Research indicates that students show an increase in recall, motivation, comprehension and development of cognitive thinking skills when still and moving images, charts, graphs, diagrams and animation are used in teaching. Multimedia by itself is not a panacea, however. The presentation must be carefully prepared and the teacher must guide the students' learning.
