Abstract
We experience nowadays a major shift in the way we understand the design and development of educational environments in our institutions. New technologies find their way into the traditional educational settings, although a multitude of problems has to be dealt with. In this paper authors comment first on the general aspects of multimedia technology and multimedia product delivery along with problems arising when integrating such products into educational environments. Moreover authors present an instructional framework based on Cognitive Flexibility Theory and Cognitive Apprentiship prescriptions in their attempt to address these problems and propose a solution.
