John Hattie's ground-breaking study “Visible Learning” he ranked 138 influences that are related to learning outcomes from very positive effects to very negative effects. The positive effects can accelerate student learning when greater than 0.40 (a.k.a. hinge point).

Key #1 - The Modality Effect (d=0.55)
Key #1 - The Modality Effect (d=0.55)
This instructional strategy (modality effect) accelerates student learning.
This instructional strategy (modality effect) accelerates student learning.
The modality effect refers to how learner performance depends on the presentation mode. Improve learning when you present textual information in enhanced mode. That is, when text includes auditory format, and/or visual materials. Visual materials could include a graph, diagram, or animation.

The Modality Effect is a surface learning strategy. That is, it is best used to introduce students to concepts, skills, and/or strategies. Strategies seek to help students gain requisite knowledge needed to move forward to deep learning.

Text, a weak format for presenting concepts, often dominates classroom materials. For learners who have text- or language-related disabilities, it may be ineffective.
