Enhance Inclusive Learning System: An Instructional Interface of Courseware for Molecular Biology
Keywords:
courseware, instructional, inclusive learners, molecular biology, strategy, usability
Abstract
This paper provides a research approach in developing an e-learning environment for inclusive learners. By capturing and modeling the multimedia 3-D knowledge into an instructional interface for teaching and assessing Molecular Biology Courseware for student in distance learning. The research implement the proposed Conceptual Design Model Courseware for Inclusive Education System, called C4IES. The experimental result from the subject experts that used the developed prototype has shown a great potential in the courseware usage. Where, out of 10 experts, 90% agreed that the proposed Multimedia environment has demonstrated a high usability in enhancing molecular concept and practical skills of student in distance learning and also for regular students in practicing the laboratory task while away from on-campus environment. This could also be as guidance to the developer or anyone who intends to develop courseware for an inclusive environment.
