DETAILS OF THE DEVELOPMENT
The development of the computer instructional package used the Interactive Multimedia Computer Instruction Package
(IMMCIP) from the Faculty of Industrial Education and Technology, King Mongkut's University of Technology
Thonburi. The development of a computer instructional package has five main steps [2]:
1. Content Analysis (Analysis): to understand the content and details of the course and determine the order of the
content. This also avoids duplication. The analysis followed these steps:

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research was: 1) to develop a computer instructional package for a multimedia
program; 2) to evaluate the efficiency of the package; 3) to evaluate the effectiveness of learning using the package; and
4) to evaluate learners’ satisfaction with the package. The research tools were: 1) the computer instructional package; 2)
tests to measure achievement; and 3) a questionnaire to measure the learners’ satisfaction. The research sampling group
was 30 students. The research results revealed that the efficiency was higher than a set criterion (80/80). The analysis of
pre-test and post-test scores for effectiveness showed that the computer instructional package could increase learning
effectiveness more than the set criterion of 60. The mean of satisfaction of the sampling group was high. It was
concluded that the computer instructional package for the multimedia program was good enough to be used for self
study.

Develop a Brainstorm Chart for the entire package. The work is conducted by researchers and raises issues for
content experts. The researchers identify topics in the multimedia class content in the middle of the chart.
Related topics are added and linked by relationship lines. The experts then examine and improve the chart.
Create a Concept Chart by analysing the brainstorm chart to determine appropriate topics and the relationship
between topics.
Create a Content Network Chart, which shows the relationship between the content. It is used to determine the
order in which content should be presented. The content expert then reviews the system.
2. Design involves the following:
The chart network content validated by experts is used to determine the division and sequencing into units of
study (Modules) and is presented as lessons in a Course Flow Chart Drafting.
Create a Learning Management Systems (LMS) Chart Drafting. In this stage, the course management system is
designed for control of the learning process using the computer instructional package. This includes
registration records, account and passwords, personal information, learning status, learning sequence at school,
scores, results and evaluation. It is also useful for raising students’ awareness of the lessons.
