    The rapid development of information and communications technology (ICT) today has given a new breath to use of computer in education. One of the increasingly popular nowadays is a multimedia technology that merges a variety of media such as text, graphics, animation, video and audio controlled by a computer. With this technology, a wide range of multimedia software can be developed to improve the quality of education. This study aims to develop a multimedia educational animated video based interactive teaching and learning theory and design appropriate for Engineering Drawing subject in the title of Orthographic Projection according to the syllabus of Malaysia Vocational College. This research involved 30 respondents from Industrial Machining students in Vocational College. The research design was conducted by simple survey to collect data from the respondents. The instruments used in the form of a questionnaire to obtain information. Data was collected and analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 24. The study found that the interactive multimedia materials that have visual graphics, text, audio, video and animation, capable of increasing the rate of their acceptance more than 30% compared to using traditional learning methods

    Most educators agree that anticipating and accommodating continual curricula changes is essential to IS program success. This article reports results from a survey of business firms and higher education schools with undergraduate Information Systems programs. The survey asked the respondents to rank the most urgent hardware needs and software skills requested by employers. Results from the survey indicate that in some areas there was a significant perception difference between the academics and the business groups, Problem solving, PC skills multimedia networking, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) were perceived by the businesses as the most urgently needed skills. In contrast, academia ranked Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools, Windows, Unix, and Systems Analysis as the most requested skills. Comparisons are made between the results of this study and the Information Systems \u2795 model curriculum developed by the Joint Task Force of the Data Processing Management Association (DPMA), the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and Academy for Information Systems (AIS)

    This article describes a systematic literature review (SLR), a methodology to be used in the survey of articles, monographs, dissertations and theses, in scientific databases, to provide a reference bibliography for the construction of multimedia learning objects applied to Stewart platforms, using Software Engineering methods. The bases existent in the literature between the years of 2009 and 2012 were analyzed. The methodology used was based on the adaptation of a revision protocol that suggests for a good SLR, to follow some steps, being: planning, primary reading, formulation of questions for checking if the work fits the subject and classification. The use of SLR assisted in the bibliographic survey process bringing successful results and relevant publications with high impact factors, thus making a solid basis for several works in the research fields

    European Higher Education Area; Power Electronics Laboratory; educational methods Resumen: The forthcoming European Higher Education Area implies an important change in the teaching/learning process: it is necessary to get students more involved as well as to promote their independence and active participation. To achieve this objective, the new teaching methodologies aimed at more effective and appropriate learning for professional practice involve the use of audiovisual, computer and multimedia tools on the part of lecturers. Therefore, a web tool, based on a content management system, has been developed for the teaching in Power Electronics Laboratory. Moreover, the use of these multimedia tools makes possible to promote the students independence. Finally, the use of this web tool results in a very significant increase in the motivation students.Universidad de MĂĄlaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional AndalucĂ­a Tech
