macromedia e-learning

this is an effective way of learning because it is not just reading a book or answering questions, it brings a whole new dimension to learning, as the online learning can do much more than normal books and questions. it can give you verbal questions in an interactive way, and use images and videos, as well as sound and animations to make a point, or illustrate a question, or even give examples of something related to a question or piece of text. also you can have links to different pages, which can help you to understand something complex better, or lionks to different parts of a text to show something, such as a point that explains the future part of the text, or to show important tecniques such as foreshadowing. this however does have some disadvantages, such as the fact that the links back to other pages could make the site become confusing, or hard to find you way back from links, and the fact that the animations, and videos and other things may make it hard to focus on the task, also the fact that the technology is so good may distract the learner from the task, and effect his or her learning negatively.
