Abstract

Text-based discussions in Asynchronous Learning Networks (ALN) may not be an optimal learning environment for all learners. This paper discusses the reasons why and explores the possibility of applying multimedia to ALN. The contribution of this paper is to provide ways of diversifying the ALN learning environment to accommodate the needs of diverse learners having different learning styles.
