Abstract

This paper discusses the design phase of the development of an interactive multimedia tutorial tool for computer literacy. Research indicates interactive multimedia can be helpful to that student who does not respond to the traditional teaching methods. Can an interactive multimedia tutorial be designed to increase the success rate in computer literacy classes? The importance of the user interface is stressed and the factors to be considered in creating the user interface are discussed. How these factors were implemented in designing the interactive multimedia tutorial tool for computer literacy is presented.
