a. Multimedia Learning Presentation:
A tool for educators in the learning process in the classroom and

does not replace educators as a whole. In the form of pointers to the
material presented (explicit knowledge) and can be added with linear
multimedia in the form of films and videos to strengthen students'

understanding. Can be developed with presentation software such as
OpenOffice Impress, Microsoft PowerPoint, etc.

b. Self-Learning Multimedia
Learning software can be used by students independently or
without the help of educators. Self-learning multimedia must be able to

combine explicit knowledge (written knowledge in books, articles,
etc.) and tacit knowledge (know-how, rule of thumb, educator

experience). Of course, because it replaces educators, there must be an
assessment feature for exercises, exams, and simulations, including
problem-solving stages. You can use software such as Macromedia

Authorware, Macromedia director, or Adobe Flash for complex levels.
We can also use easy software such as OpenOffice Impress or
Microsoft PowerPoint, as long as we want to be observant and smart in

using various animation effects and features in both software.
5. Determine The Theme Of Teaching Materials
Take the theme of teaching materials that we think are very helpful in

increasing students' understanding and interest if we use multimedia. Remember
that our main goal in creating learning multimedia is to improve students'

performance. Don't get caught up in transferring books to digital media because
this makes it difficult for students. When a biology educator wants to describe a
type of plant so that students can understand it, and it turns out to be challenging

to do (because educators can't draw on a computer, etc.), then don't do it. It
would be better if the tree was brought directly to the front of the class. This is

an example of how learning media does not have to be with information
technology. In educator certification, learning media such as trees, dried
cockroaches, etc., still gets significant scoring points.
