4) help students organize their knowledge,

5) provide timely feedback,

6) demand quality,

Effective instruction builds bridges between students' knowledge and the learning objectives of the course. Using media engages students, aids student retention of knowledge, motivates interest in the subject matter, and illustrates the relevance of many concepts.

Media can be used in almost any discipline to enhance learning, both in class, and also for out-of-class assignments. Research suggests that people learn abstract, new, and novel concepts more easily when they are presented in both verbal and visual form.
