| Summary: | In distance learning both the
instructor and students are separated,
thus learning material plays a vital role in
filing the gap which is not only a source of
disseminating knowledge and information
but also for motivating the learner to
learn independently. As an open and
distance learning institution, Open
University Malaysia (OUM) provided a
suite of learning materials for its learners
which includes print and digital material.
i-Tutorial is one of the digital learning
material that is used in some of the
courses in the university. It is a visual clip
of a lecturer presenting content by using
pen device on power point slides, digital
movie/pictures or digital tablet. This
research aims to investigate the perceived
effectiveness of i-Tutorial by evaluating
four major aspects of multimedia
materials, they are: design, elements,
instructional messages, and interactivity.
A well-designed media-rich i-Tutorial will
not only enhance learning and translate
into better learning outcomes but provides
a stimulating environment for learning
and retaining information delivered. The
research data was collected via an online
survey and a focus group. The findings
from the survey and discussion indicated
that i-Tutorial was well received by the
students for all the four multimedia
factors and also regarded supportive in their learning. (Authors' abstract) |
