Abstract

A multimedia application is an effective teaching tool. Many teaching tools are being developed to make learning in subjects such as Islamic studies, language, science and technology less abstract and theoretical, thus making it easier to learn and capture the students’ interest. Visualization and interaction techniques are being applied in several e-learning projects in our classrooms. Three e-learning projects which are ‘Greenfoot as a Teaching Tool in Programming’, ‘Visualization makes Array Easy (VAE)’ and ‘e-Tajweed Yassin’ applications strive to engage the students by allowing them to visualize the concept learned, its behaviour and operation using animation, games, simulation and other elements, in contrast to more conventional teaching method. Hence, the students can obtain a new learning experience with better understanding of the concepts and perform better in their assessments. The outcomes from these studies have shown positive results from the students. This paper compares between the three applications: Greenfoot, VAE and e-Tajweed where it discusses the design models used that meet the instructional goals and objectives, and how nontechnical students respond to the information presented.
