Abstract

The fast development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has continued to transform the world education systems, especially the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) models. This analytical research discusses the quality, use and learning effect of ICT based multimedia that is in this case educational video programmes prepared within the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). Based on @@10 years of data and based on a systematic assessment index such as content, instruction design, technical production and delivery, this study aims to explore the pedagogical success of multimedia to learners in terms of engagement and performance. The research incorporates modern advancements into the sphere of AI-powered content delivery, video platforms with interactivity, and broadbanding. The results confirm that ICT integration can enhance considerably the learner autonomy, retention and interaction in case of appropriate content design in accordance with the clear pedagogic goals and accessibility requirements of the learners. The paper suggests an extensive assessment model that can be applied to large-scale ODL settings and help to create flexible, high-quality multimedia materials in the context of contemporary educational environments.
