Abstract:
Current computer technology and various multimedia tools play an increasingly important and effective role in enhancing the learning process. However, current educational multimedia systems still suffer from a major drawback that they don’t support active interaction and engagement of learners Nowadays, multimodal information interfaces which depend on learner active engagement have gained considerable research and
development interests. This trend is expected to continue as designers keep addressing challenges in information presentation such as interface and performance improvement. This paper mainly presents Active Multimodal Information Presentation in life cycle
phases and shows how learner engagement fits into this model to support active multimodal e-learning. The paper ends with summarizing resulting steps to be taken
to adapt this new effective trend in e-learning applications in order to achieve successful learning outcomes.
