Developing digital materials for learning purposes, or e-learning materials, is not as straightforward as it may seem. The traditional approach is multimedia instruction, the presentation of both pictures and words in an e-learning format to foster learning. We conducted a mixed methods study in which we recruited DHH students to view an asynchronous, online multimedia tutorial covering a general chemistry concept and complete a brief questionnaire that inquired about their e-learning perspectives. Within the context of both these self-described behaviors and feedback, findings suggest the principle of segmenting may have strong applicability for the e-learning needs of this student population.
