DEVELOPMENT AND USABILITY OF A MULTIMEDIA COURSEWARE: LINES AND PLANES IN 3-DIMENSIONS

Information Technology (IT) and multimedia has been proven to be able in assisting earning and teaching process like in this context which is to enable better nderstanding for the topic of Lines and Planes in 3-Dimensions (LaP3D). The
LaP3D courseware has been developed by incorporating learning and design theories ith ADDIE as the development methodology. Among the learning theories that have een applied for the instructional design of the courseware are cognitivism and onstructivism. A special consideration on Van Hiele geometric thinking theory has been applied in LaP3D courseware to assist the students in visualization. In ensuring the quality, usability and effectiveness of LaP3D courseware prototype, a Quasi- Experimental Design was employed. Two groups, namely the control (XI) and
experiment (Xz) groups were identified, followed by a comparison towards the students' performance based on their pre-test and post-test results. A questionnaire
was also distributed to the students of experiment group to evaluate the courseware in terms of usability. The results and analysis of the pre-test and post-test have shown
that X2 students have done better in the assessment that indicates the effectiveness of LaP3D courseware as a learning aid for Lines and Planes in 3-Dimensions topic.
Majority of the students further agreed that LaP3D courseware is usable for them in learning the topic of Lines and Planes in 3-Dimensions.
