Özet:   This article present a study on the use of adaptive multimedia technology, it was carried out to test the viability of an adaptive multimedia courseware for the teaching of History, one core subject in Malaysian public examinations, which is generally regarded as an uninteresting subject by students. Hence, to address this problem, a multimedia courseware was designed and developed to enable History teachers to prepare multimedia-based materials for instructional purposes. This courseware was designed and developed under Visual Studio platform that provides an alternative to the existing “Ready to use” courseware. Teachers are allowed totals control over the content of the courseware in terms of data input, audio-video, graphic, images, quiz etc as compared to the “Ready to use “courseware which does not allow room for amendment or modification of the prescript content. Analysis of data based on gender, age, computer skill, teaching experience and graduate and non-graduate teachers’ perception revealed, mean values for aspects such as i) technical aspect; ii) interface design; iii) multimedia features; and iv) instructional design. However, still at prototype stage, yet the overall mean computed for this courseware stands at a high value. The data suggest the high viability of the courseware and its robustness can be further improved from the design perspective. Teachers can exploit their creativity in preparing multimedia-based teaching material using this courseware.
