Abstract

Jawi script is derived from the Arabic script and contains six additional characters to represent Malay
vowel sounds. Mobile applications incorporate multimedia elements such as text, images, sound, video
and animation to enhance learning. This research aims to study and evaluate multimedia components
found in Jawi mobile applications. This research focuses on how multimedia elements are used and how
important they are to increasing user engagement and learning outcomes. This study uses content analysis
to evaluate multimedia elements in a selected sample of Jawi mobile applications. The main finding shows
no video content, although other multimedia elements are widely used. This indicates that there is room
for improvement in the design of these mobile applications, as video could increase user engagement and
Jawi mobile application developers should consider diversifying multimedia components to be more
interactive and dynamic.
