Abstract
Multimedia technologies are increasingly used in higher education for effective teaching-learning process. In this changing landscape, the development of Multimedia Courseware is an essential domain for research. The primary objective of the research is to develop a multimedia package for teaching technical writing using a constructivist theory of learning. The secondary objective is to compare the efficacy of multimedia instruction to that of traditional instruction. An experimental design was employed to test the effectiveness of the multimedia method. Thirty students from the control group and thirty students from the experimental group were chosen for this study. The control group was exposed to traditional instruction, and experimental group was subjectedto multimedia instruction. The instrument of data collection was the test performance and student feedback questionnaire. A paired sample t-test was used to assess the effectiveness of the new method. The significance level of the t-test was set at an Alpha value of < 0.05. The findings of the study indicated that the experimental group whowere taught using multimedia materials performed better than the traditional group who were taught using traditional materials. The results of this study are expected to have positive implications for efficient delivery of content in writing classrooms. Although this study reports on technical writing, such instructional practices can be extended to all domains.
