Design of Web-based Lightweight Interactive Multimedia for Distance Learning

Electronic learning based on Information and Communication Technology is one of the backbone behind the success of distance learning because it is actually able to save cost, time, and resources. To optimize the quality of this learning, more variety and interactive content with the support of multimedia elements (such as text, images, animations, sounds and video) is required. This research proposes a design of web-based lightweight interactive multimedia application combined with a game approach to support distance learning. This design employs web technologies based on pure HTML5, CSS3, and AJAX scripting that offer rich interactivity and lightweight performance. This research produces an interesting and fun learning application design that able to motivate students to self-learning.
