A total number of 120 students were administered a questionnaire. The data analysis was carried out using SPSS version 25.0 software. The findings of the study revealed that Multimedia technology facilitates the integration of real-world examples, case studies, and multimedia resources into the curriculum bringing about practical application (X = 2.98, SD = 1.27) Poor and unreliable internet connectivity can be a significant barrier in utilizing multimedia technology (X = 3.84, SD =1.87). Further findings revealed that multimedia technology (YouTube, Zoom, Podcast, Facebook, and Google Classroom) significantly impacted e-learning [(R2 = .814; F (5, 119) = 396.235; p < .05)] jointly accounted for about 81.4% of the variance observable in e-learning.
