abstract: 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. (Authors' abstract)
