Previous researches and current initial findings have shown that conventional approaches used in most Hajj supplementary learning materials are less effective in providing clear understanding to users, particularly the pilgrims.Most of the materials are based on passive learning.Thus, in order to cater for those limitations , this study incorporates virtual environment (VE) and multimedia technology in developing V -Hajj courseware as an attempt to provide a better learning aid for supporting active and self-directed learning for Hajj.In addition, this courseware is also intended to persuade users, and in this case elders to use computer technology as their main supplementary learning material. Thus, this study adapted the persuasive design guidelines from persuasive technology. Generally, this paper elaborates the evaluation that has been conducted on the V-Hajj courseware. It also reviews some related literatures about Hajj, multimedia, VE and persuasive technology. Lastly, this paper discusses on the results of the evaluation on the targeted users.
