I usually lunge for the mute button, but often I still have to wait for the now-silent narration to finish before Im allowed to move on. Im with you. But even when theres a visual that needs examination, it might be more effective to provide a rollover rather than explaining the image with an audio presentation. Youre right.

Some key nuggets from the Sydney Herald article: It is more difficult to process information if it is coming at you in the written and spoken form at the same time. It is effective to speak to a diagram, because it presents information in a different form. Im thinking about Karl Kapps recent post Design: Bullets Be Gone.

And by asking this, Im not suggesting that design isnt important, for it is - its seen by some as part of the pedagogy. I wonder about this, for scaffolding is important for the effectiveness of resources that are used. Neither should they, they are required to meet deadlines and get set information across to students.
