Abstract: This work investigates the role of edutainment using avatars as tool to represent the entertainment attributes in an e-learning framework. The empirical investigation aimed at measuring usability of two experimental interfaces: typical e-learning and multimodal e-learning system. The usability of these two environ-ments was analysed by one dependent group of users. The results presented here confirmed that edutainment interface as learning medium persuaded users more than the typical version.
