The Development of Multimedia Aided Materials for Teaching Introductory Computing Courses in the National University of Samoa (original) (raw)

The purpose of this study was to develop multimedia type teaching materials for students studying the Introductory Computing course at the National University of Samoa. The increasing numbers of students taking computer courses every semester is causing problems for the Computing Department. Therefore, the idea was to develop an alternative method of teaching and learning to minimize these problems. The new multimedia materials were distributed to the lecturers for feedback and recommendations. The results of the evaluation given by these lecturers are presented. The findings show that 100% of the respondents supported this tutorial system and found it very helpful. They also predicted that it would be useful for students. It is suggested that more multimedia materials should be produced for teaching other kinds of software.
