Abstract: this paper describes an experimental study conducted to investigate the use of multimodal metaphors in the interface of e-learning applications. This investigation involved two different interface versions of the experimental e-learning tool. In the first interface platform (textual interface), three input modalities, were used to deliver information about note-taking: text, graphic, and image. The second version of the interface application (multimodal interface) offered a combination of multimodal metaphors such as recorded speech, video, and avatar with simple facial expressions to communicate the same information. The aim of the experiment was to measure and compare the level of usability of textual and multimodal interfaces. The usability parameters, which are efficiency, effectiveness, and user‟ satisfaction were considered in the experiment. The results obtained from this investigation have shown that the multimodal e-learning interface increased the l!
evel of usability as users took significantly less time to complete the tasks, performed successfully in a higher number of tasks, and were more satisfied than when using the textual interface. These input modalities could be used to improve the attractiveness of note taking which in turn will be reflected in increasing users‟ motivation and interest in the learning material presented.
