Fiction: The learner wants to obtain knowledge efficiently and effectively.
Therefore he turns to multimedia. The colourful images mixed with video
and sound appear accessible. Since he watches TV and surfs the Internet
more frequently than he reads books, multimedia feels like familiar
grounds. He is used to applying his senses interchangeably, as he watches
TV, while he has a conversation and plays the guitar at the same time. Yet,
the multimedia application that is supposed to promote and enable
knowledge construction is not fulfilling his expectation. It is neither as
efficient nor effective as he expected it to be.
