The study aims to find out the effectiveness of multimedia glosses in the process of reading comprehension for the students at The University of AJ&K, Muzaffarabad. The sample is selected from a section of undergrad students. A total of 10 students participated in the study. The sample are provided exposure to various multimedia glosses and comprehension tests are conducted afterwards. Multimedia glosses which are used in the process of the study included audio gloss, motion picture gloss, and audio gloss combined with video gloss. The results of comprehension tests are compared using ANOVA and a significant difference is found in the results. After significant difference is found POST-hoc analysis is performed to measure the differences in the results of different glosses. The result from the study has shown that motion picture is least effective, while audio glosses are more effective. And, most effective among the glosses is the audio gloss combined with video gloss. Thus, assumptions of dual coding theory which suggest that information is more durable when multiple inputs are combined together is being also experimentally proven.
