Hi Krista,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The theory sounds very much like the hypothesis(?) about separate learning styles, which has circulated (without sources) in many instructional resources, but I've not come across a good citation that these pathways are separate. The more current
theories lean towards learning with all senses to reinforce each other.</div>

I’m in a graduate program in Educational Technology and am currently in a Multimedia course. This class is based on the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia. I am having an intellectual crisis because this theory makes the following assumptions:<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

But in our work (serving students with disabilities), I don’t think assumption #1 holds up. I am not confident that someone with a TBI has both channels. Or if they do, the channels may interact at different capacities. For example, a blind student may not
be utilizing their visual/pictorial channel because it has been “replaced” by a tactile channel (tactile is not mentioned at all in this course).<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

I am struggling because this theory is widely popular in the Educational Tech/Instructional Design field and I don’t want future professionals to be taught how to create media for only those who don’t have disabilities.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

I have no research to back up this gut feeling (yet). But I am itching for more. Can anyone shed light? Or point me to resources the focus specifically on disability and Cognitive Theory of Multimedia?<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
