Multimedia Learning Gets Medieval

Tara Williams

Abstract

The essay argues that technological multimedia can help students comprehend historical context and thus analyze texts successfully. The author identifies the practical benefits of this approach for any literary period but suggests that the parallels between contemporary experiences with multimedia and medieval experiences with manuscripts make that pairing especially useful.
