According to Clark and Mayer, in e-Learning and the Science of Instruction, e-learning courses should include words and graphics, rather than words alone. › “Words” can mean printed text on the
screen, or spoken text that people can listen to.
› Graphics can mean static illustrations, which includes drawings, graphs, charts, maps, or photos, or dynamic graphics, which means animations or video.

When text and graphics are used together in e-learning, they should be placed near each other so that the viewers can easily make sense of what they see.
When voice animations and video are used together in e-learning, they should play at the same time.
If the words and graphics are placed too far apart, they lose the impact of the learner.
The labels for the parts of the plant correspond with the parts they label.
