It also emphasizes on the usage of multimedia tools including but not limited to audio-visual aids, that cater to the learning styles of students. The article also compares the performance of students who learn in a traditional way, relying solely on one learning style in a classroom deprived of any multimedia applications and those who are exposed to a mixed environment combining all types of styles whether it is visual, audio or kinesthetic in a digitally enhanced classroom.
