One of the biggest differences, I found, between audio and visual media is the role STM plays in learning from audio. In many cases with visuals, the information is static; it is there in front of the learner and is constantly accessible. However with audio media it is "moving", which requires more work by the learner's working memory to process and move information to LTM. Of course, audio media can benefit learners with different learning styles, such as auditory learners, who learn better from verbal explanations and instructions. With my particular subject, I found audio media easy to work with. I was able to go into more depth in the instruction I wanted to provide than I was with text. Including everything in text thetas in verbal instruction could take up twice (or more) space, which is not always an option.
