The Impact of Different Types of Educational Materials on the Educational Process Efficiency: Case Study

This paper presents the methodology and results of a research survey performed among students who sequentially studied learning materials of two different types. The first type is a simple "textbook-style" study material, which contains only textual information and static images (provided electronically in PDF). The second one is represented by a set of online multimedia materials (containing mainly video and interactive elements in addition to text and images).The fundamental question that the research aims to answer is: How does the efficiency of learning differ when using PDF-only material compared to using the complete rich-content package?The paper describes the group of respondents, the research methodology, the results and their interpretation, as well as future plans in this direction.
