Abstract

This study examines four levels of learning outcomes of 204 undergraduates in learning environments featured two navigation modes (i.e. linear and non-linear) and three instruction presentation modes (i.e., text, text with static graphics, and text with animation). The results indicated that students performed significantly better with the help of visuals in lower-level assessments regardless of navigation modes. The implication for instructional design will be discussed and presented.
