Summary: | The use of technology in education is no longer
something new in the universities. Lecturers may either
develop learning modules to support the teaching and learning
process or incorporate multimedia elements in the teaching
materials. The use of multimedia elements in the teaching
materials is able to attract students’ attention, achieve better
retention rate and then improving students’ performances. The
multimedia elements need to be used with proper planning and
careful consideration in order to have the learning contents
arranged in a more meaningful manner. One good approach is
by following the Mayer’s Design Principles, which are
Multimedia Principle, Spatial Contiguity Principle, Temporal
Contiguity Principle, Coherence Principle, Modality Principle,
Redundancy Principle, and Individual Differences Principle.
On top of that, the interaction that is created during the
learning process is also contributing into effective learning.
This study looks into students’ perceptions on the independent
online learning which is a student centered learning
environment as well as the students’ performance in pretest/
posttest. |
