description: In distance learning both the   instructor and students are separated,   thus learning material plays a vital role in   filing the gap which is not only a source of   disseminating knowledge and information   but also for motivating the learner to   learn independently. As an open and   distance learning institution, Open   University Malaysia (OUM) provided a   suite of learning materials for its learners   which includes print and digital material.    i-Tutorial is one of the digital learning   material that is used in some of the   courses in the university.  It is a visual clip   of a lecturer presenting content by using   pen device on power point slides, digital   movie/pictures or digital tablet.  This   research aims to investigate the perceived   effectiveness of i-Tutorial by evaluating   four major aspects of multimedia   materials, they are: design, elements,   instructional messages, and interactivity.   A well-designed media-rich i-Tutorial will   not only enhance learning and translate   into better learning outcomes but provides   a stimulating environment for learning   and retaining information delivered.  The   research data was collected via an online   survey and a focus group.   The findings   from the survey and discussion indicated   that i-Tutorial was well received by the   students for all the four multimedia   factors and also regarded supportive in their learning.
