Multi-channel access to information has gained interest in the past years. Yet, the usage of alternative modes of interaction has not been extended into mainstream e-learning systems. This paper illustrates how the elements of a multi-channel learning framework can be identified and used in practice to enable complementary aural access to visual-only web-based environments. To complement these findings, this research proposes an evaluation method that considers usability and didactic effectiveness parameters to support the assessment of voice interactive learning solutions, and allows for the exploration of the meaning and measure of enabling voice interaction in traditional Internet-based learning systems. The results obtained from developing and evaluating audio features with postgraduate students from the University of Oviedo, allow us to present an analysis of the benefits and implications of following the proposed approach, and better understand the influence of voice interaction in e-learning.
