MULTIMEDIA-BASED LEARNING METHODS: DEVELOPMENT OF A DIDACTIC RESOURCE ON AN ONLINE PLATFORM

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technologies has significantly transformed the modern educational environment, leading to the widespread integration of multimedia-based learning methods. Multimedia learning combines various forms of content, including text, audio, video, animation, and interactive elements, to enhance students’ understanding, engagement, and motivation. The use of multimedia tools allows educators to present information in multiple ways, which supports different learning styles and improves knowledge retention. This article examines the theoretical foundations of multimedia-based learning and analyzes its main advantages and challenges in the educational process. Special attention is given to the principles of instructional design that should be followed when creating multimedia educational materials. The study also explores the process of developing a didactic resource on an online platform, including needs analysis, content design, platform selection, implementation, and evaluation of learning outcomes. The research shows that multimedia-based didactic resources can significantly improve the quality of education by making learning more interactive, flexible, and student-centered. In addition, multimedia learning helps develop independent learning skills, critical thinking, and digital literacy. However, the effectiveness of multimedia learning depends on proper instructional design, the appropriate use of technology, and the teacher’s digital competence. When these factors are considered, multimedia-based learning becomes an effective tool for modern education and online learning environments.
