Multimedia and Sports Instruction: Effects of Various Learning Methods on Skill Acquisition

Al Davis, the legendary sports owner of the Oakland Raiders football team, sums up the attitudes of many sports coaches throughout the world today with his famous phrase, ?just win baby!? In the world of competitive sports, coaches will seek out any possible way to give their team a better chance of winning. Any competitive edge a team or coach can gain over the opponents, no matter how small, will be taken advantage of to the fullest. This attitude is not much different from passionate educators who want to reach out to each of their students and have them develop to the fullest. Technology and multimedia tools are constantly evolving and providing instructional designers new ways to present instruction.
