The effect of COVID-19 outbreak to education is in form of a shift of classroom-based instructions to online technology-based practices. To respond to the needs of technology-based instructional activities, this study developed interactive multimedia utilizing online technology-based platforms featuring Moodle and Thinglink to enhance students comprehension in listening. This is a Research and Development involving fifty-three students of English literature study program in a state university in North Sumatera as object of the study. This study applies the ADDIE model to develop interactive multimedia learning. Purposive sampling was used to collect the samples for analysis. Tests, questionnaires, and interviews were designed and employed to collect the data. Material and media experts carried out the validation of the product. The paired samples t-test and independent samples t-test were utilized for data analysis. The outcomes are interactive multimedia using Moodle and ThingLink, complete with its tutorials, practices, and tests to listening comprehension. Interactive multimedia featuring Moodle and ThingLink was deemed practical to use and effectively increased the students listening comprehension according to the results of the material and media experts validation and student response questionnaires.

Conclusion

This research produces interactive multimedia for learning listening comprehension courses.The developed interactive multimedia using student-centered learning methods involves students bringing up some characteristics, such as responsibility, creativity, initiative, honesty, and motivation in learning.The steps carried out in this research have proven the benefits of applying Moodle and Thinglink in Listening class in the EFL context, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving students listening skill.

Future Research

Further research could investigate the long-term effects of using this interactive multimedia on students listening comprehension skills beyond the immediate study period. Additionally, exploring the adaptability of this multimedia approach to different learning contexts, such as varying class sizes or diverse student backgrounds, would be valuable. Finally, future studies could focus on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) features into the multimedia to provide personalized feedback and adaptive learning experiences, potentially enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes. These investigations will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of how technology can be effectively leveraged to improve listening comprehension skills in English language education, ultimately preparing students for success in a globalized world.
