Education 　　ATT researchers conducted a comparison between audio-graphic and face-to-face instruction in a controlled test with two groups of students. Pre-test scores showed an insignificant difference between the two groups, but post-test scores showed that the group trained using audio-graphics had higher scores than the face-to-face group. 　　The use of audio/image systems for distance learning at George Brown College resulted in good student acceptance of the system with an unexpected side benefit: two-hour classroom sessions extended to three hours simply because the students did not need travel home after class. 　　Multimedia can stimulate the interest of school children in educational material. In an inner city school in Texas with a 60%～70% failure rate, the use of a multimedia instructional system reduced the failure rate to 22%.
