Research Abstract	e-Learning is a relative newcomer to the education area, yet it holds already a noticeable share of the learning market. e-Learning development must focus on the contents. In general, e-Learning contents are composed of some representative media such as sentences, figures and tables, video, sound-narrations, animations, simulations. While any multimedia is being used, instructor is doing various devices to improve sustainability. On e-Learning, the quality of learning contents is very important for the purpose of guaranteeing learners achievement. The aim of this study is to develop the design and analysis methodology of e-Learning contents. On the basis of this analysis, we propose a method for contents construction. Moreover, we try to test synergy-effect for the compounded contents among figures, sentences, and sound-narrations. Also, we propose the concept of Model of Rhythm for understanding from the point of the semantic relationship among those media.
