producing the lesson in audial or visual form?

 Appropriateness in relation to the learners – is the medium suitable to the learners’


ability to comprehend? Will the medium be a source of plain amusement or
entertainment, but not learning?

 Activity / suitability – will be chosen media fit the set instructional event, resulting
in information, motivation, or psychomotor display?
