DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTIMEDIA COURSEWARE USING PERSONALIZED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT APPROACH FOR NUTRITION TOPIC

The study of Nutrition  is one of the most important in Science subject but often difficult subjects to teach at the secondary school education level. This paper discusses the design and development of a Personalized Learning Environment for Nutrition (PLENut) by using personalized learning approach to enhance the learning of Nutrition among Form 2 secondary school students. With the technology of multimedia widely used in the classroom, the requirements of multimedia courseware are increasingly high. A courseware is systematically developed using ADDIE model to assist students who had difficulties in mastering and acquiring the concept of the topic. The findings of this study show that the courseware is well designed in terms of using personalized learning elements which goes through a series of systematic testing stages. In turn, it is highly anticipated that the creation of the PLENut, would be a alternative approach so that all students could capture, in a richer and more meaningful manner, the concepts of Nutrition. This process carefully links the organizations needs, instructional strategy and the desired learning outcomes for an effective program. The ADDIE systematic of instructional design focuses on the expectations of the organization, and what learners are to know or do when the instruction is completed.
