| Summary: | While using the Web can be viewed nowadays as a new platform for delivery of course
materials, there are still many educators who look to the Web as a replacement for their
current teaching methods. This paper sought to investigate students' perceptions towards an
interactive web-based learning environment, which consisted of using multimedia-mediated
web-based learning modules, created based on Mayer's (2001) design guidelines, and the
use of weblogs to capture the student learning process. Students were given pre-and
posttests, and a survey to ascertain their reactions and attitudes toward this mode of
learning. The results obtained were very positive and encouraging. Students generally
found the multimedia-mediated web-based learning environment to be enjoyable and
motivating, and were able to demonstrate their learning and skills of the subject domain via
their weblogs. Results also gave strong support for the use of multimedia in learning
modules that followed proper design guidelines which would better engage students in their
learning. |
