ABSTRACT
The evolution of technologies and the development of new media design for educational purposes are expanding. This work aims to look at the use of blended learning and how it affects students' score in examination. BMT (Basic Movement Therapy) Digital Learning Resource was constructed and developed based on multimedia design guideline. A quasi-experimental design using two groups with pretest posttest approach was used. A total of 103 students from the Universiti Kuala Lumpur, RCMP (Royal College Medical, Perak) was divided in two groups. The Control group received standard teaching sessions (N=51). The Treatment group received the same standard sessions but additionally used BMT Digital Learning Resource application (N=52). Written test on basic movement therapy was done by students before and after the intervention. Statistically significant better scorings for the treatment group were found. The results strongly suggest that the use of BMT Digital Learning Resource application is suitable for practical procedure purposes.
