The contents of the courseware are based on a Black Cat story which is covered in an English course at the university. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the usability and effectiveness of BC-C. A total of sixty foundation students were involved in the study. Quasi-experimental design was employed, forming two groups: experimental and control groups. The experimental group had to interact with BC-C as part of the learning activities while the control group used the conventional learning methods. The results indicate that the experimental group achieved a statistically significant compared to the control group in understanding the Black Cat story. The study result also proves that the effect of visual increases the students' performances in literature learning at a pre-university level. © 2009 Springer-Verlag. date: 2009 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-76549124280&doi=10.1007%2f978-3-642-05036-7_78&partnerID=40&md5=cc66d3c7339eebd86c1938cfe914c9a0 id_number: 10.1007/978-3-642-05036-7₇₈ full_text_status: none publication: Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics) volume: 5857 L place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 822-831 refereed: TRUE isbn: 3642050352; 9783642050350 issn: 03029743 citation: Masri, M. and Wan Ahmad, W.F. and Nordin, S.Md. and Sulaiman, S.
