From the interview data it was also emerged that most of the students were satisfied with the
existing font size on the display screens while some others claimed to have bigger fonts
especially in ‘animations’ where labelling or explanations were included.
Colours used for text, explaining the content were very much appreciated by the students.
They also commented that it is attractive and helped them enthusiastically move with the
lesson.
Students also felt happy with the colour of the background especially as it is a lighter colour
one. Especially the colour combination blue and brown used on this screen was specifically
valued by the students. However, students have found difficulty in reading the red colour in this
background especially used in the top statements of SAQs. (S7/M) and (S11/F) expressing
their views:
‘Lighter colour background is good and text is better visualised in this background. The blue
and brown text colours better suited to this background. But red colour text is not very much
visible enough to read on this background Pictures are really good with different colours, and it
is easy to differentiate the microbial parts and understand the processes well with different
colours in the graphics.’ (S7/M)
Students compared the colourful graphics in the IMM with that of the black and white pictures
in the course material and expressed their enthusiasm in learning. They also expressed that
the bacterial cell components depicted in different colours gave them a better communication
of concepts of bacterial genetics. Questionnaire data also supports having a cumulative
percentage of 100% (23.77% agreeing while 76.33% strongly agreeing) with the view that
coloured graphics stimulated their learning. Further, they explained that they could grab
concepts very quickly as the colour discrimination used in animations, visualises the process
very clearly. (S6/F) explaining her enthusiasm:
‘I never felt monotony in studying this IMM with the colourful graphics, animations and text,
coming time to time on to the screen, and I was highly engaged in the learning process with
these features.’ (S6/F)
Graphics
Students expressed their views on the quality of the graphics used in the IMM. They have
perceived that the graphics are attractive, comfortable to the eye and are of professional
looking. Graphics have created a clear visual communication and have catered for their styles
of learning. S7/M expressing his ideas:
‘I can learn more with pictures than text. It helps my way of learning having more picture
descriptions than text.’ (S7/M)
Almost all students were highly motivated with the bacterial picture descriptions; and those
have communicated the subject matter well. They have observed that, what is explained in the
lesson is emphasised more with graphics. Every student was with the view that they were
