Abstract
This paper draws on past research to identify factors that might affect the efficacy of computer-based multimedia as a learning tool. These factors are incorporated into the cognitive theory of multimedia learning to develop an extended theoretical framework. The factors include: first: the match of information and channel. The nature of the information determines the best sensory channel; Second: multimedia will be effective only if it is properly designed. Design guidelines that reduce cognitive load as well as graphic design issues should be taken into consideration. Third: learners with high spatial abilities get the most out of multimedia presentations. Instructors need to foster spatial skills in their students so they will be able to take a greater advantage of multimedia presentations.
