media type="custom" key="5504635" This slidecast demonstrates the Modality Principle from the article by the way the information is presented in the presentation. It uses more visuals to add to the presentation and stays away from an overload of text. The author uses more narration in an auditory context to convey the message and address the information, and the visuals used in the presentation add to the key points of the narration without taking away from the main points. There aren't too many distractions or an overload of information, the presentation doesn't seem too busy.
