Authors: , , , , , ,
Abstract: The use of effective teaching materials either the materials are paper-based or computer-based, ensures that knowledge is transferred effectively and meaningfully to students. The materials can even be more effective if they are well-designed. One of the design methods that have the potential to produce effective learning materials is collaborative planning. Thus, this study implemented a collaborative planning in the development of an English literature component website, called e-Lit, as the teaching material for secondary education eventually evaluated its effect on students’ satisfactions The website was assessed using a questionnaire consisting of six main dimensions. Analysis of this end-users’ evaluation was used as the guidelines for the improvement of the actual website. Results of learners’ perceived satisfactions showed that the students were not only satisfied with the course and design dimensions of the e-learning material, but also with the e-learning environment constructed from the use of this e-learning material. This suggest that involvement of the end-users was found to be beneficial for the development process of teaching and learning materials so as to increase the usability and quality of the materials developed which also satisfy the students as the end-users.
