In today's world, lifelong learning and teaching are widely recognized, especially in an era dominated by information technology. This shift underscores the significant role that computer-based information technology plays throughout our lives. The evolution of computer and internet-based learning has become increasingly vital, yet there remains a gap in understanding how to effectively design instructional presentations.

The first section delves into the description of medial presentations and how technology influences them, introducing key features of computer-based presentations. It discusses verbal and pictorial modes in terms of code, modality, dynamics, and types of texts and images, ultimately advocating for a combined approach to presenting texts and pictures in instructional contexts. The second part introduces a prominent theory in multimedia learning, further enriching the discussion on effective instructional design in the digital age. Through this exploration, the book aims to enhance understanding of how to optimize multimedia elements for improved learning outcomes.
