Because multi-media can stimulate more than one sense at a time, it may be able to hold and retain more attention. Studies have also shown that students who learned through multimedia were able to make more lasting connections. In addition, a learner’s level of engagement is also significantly higher, regardless of a person’s abilities.

Xiaoling, a mother of two, believes in starting young for her two kids, 4 year old Jie Yi and 1 year old Jie Xi.
