PowerPoint is a widespread multimedia presentation tool, but using it effectively for e-learning purposes requires a focused approach. This study incorporated the multimedia technology into PowerPoint on demand and explored the relationship between the use of PowerPoint presentation and the maintenance of student interest and motivation in university lectures. The evidence of tests and a questionnaire suggests that PowerPoint is pedagogically effective only by means of diverse presentation and stimulating interest with the use of appropriate multimedia technology in the learning environment. The results provide useful guidance for developing e-learning courseware.
The use of video-supported technology to facilitate learning is the latest trend in e-learning. But videos often cause superficial learning and thereby restrict sustainability of learning outcomes and even no transfer that is the well known ‘couch-potato-attitude’. The aim of this study is to implement and evaluate an Interactive Video on Demand – IVOD followed by the ADDIE model. Through empirical study the results show that IVOD can effectively impress and motivate participants and enhance their learning performance. According to these findings, some recommendations for further studies were offered in this study.
