Majority of students are not interested in studying History. Searching via Google, there are only a handful of educational websites on Malaysian History for students. The aim of this project is to design and develop an online learning application entitled “Formation of Malaysia” that integrates various Web 2.0 tools. This project used an instructional design model to guide the design of the online learning application. This project also used the Cooperative Evaluation method to evaluate and improve the human-computer interaction of the developed online learning application. The development of this online learning application will provides an addition to existing electronic resources on Malaysian History. Students of the Arts stream at the STPM level taking History as one of their subjects may use it as a reference and a guide in their learning, while teachers may utilise it either as reference material, or integrate its use into their actual teaching. Other developers can expand it to other topics related to Malaysian History, while researchers may use it to examine its usability with a larger number of participants.
