DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTIMEDIA LEARNING SYSTEM FOR TEACHING C++ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

Abstract

Advancement in Technology has played a vital role in improving and evolving every facet of human living. The learning environment is not an exception. With the introduction of the Internet, and several new inventions and technologies especially in the communication and computer systems' field, there is a need to enhance teaching and educational methods through the utilization of those technologies which may improve the abilities of educators to present 
information in an interactive and media enhanced formats relative to traditional methods. Multimedia Learning Systems provide flexibility as well as a collaborative approach to learning, decreased cost of education for learners and proper time usage for instructors. It provides a major benefit over the traditional approach to C++ Instruction. This paper is the analysis, design and implementation of a Multimedia Learning System for C++ Class in 
Computer Science. This project was designed to help students learning through multimedia platforms, which include videos, audios, animations, graphics representation, and documents. The methodology used in developing the system is Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM) because it divides the system into phases. The system was developed using PHP Scripting Language as the server side language and MySQL as the Database for the system. The designed system will help to educate students more on programming with C++. It is designed to meet the active learning preferences of C++ learners and can also be used as a supporting tool for other courses.
