Abstract

This paper discusses the final conclusions and empirically derived guidelines for the incorporation of multimodal metaphors and entertainment elements in interface for e-learning applications. The study tested the benefits of integration of various modalities representing natural recorded speech, earcons, and virtual avatars within the e-learning framework through three experiments. This was conducted using usability parameters that include efficiency, effectiveness, and user satisfaction.
