The power of PDL in helping students learn effectively lies in the way the learning materials are presented. The content is presented through a variety of media types which allow students to interact with them or visualize certain processes through video simulations. There are flash and HTML5 animations, videos, audios, slideshows, graphics, and plain texts. These media types all work together to make sure a particular topic is covered comprehensively and presented in an easy-to-understand manner to the student.
