This research is limited to children aged 5 to 7 years old. Therefore, approaches in developing animated multimedia applications are studied so that they can suit the children's interest and at the same time can act as a tool for learning. This paper discusses the study on design principles and requirements for multimedia application development which covers suitable learning theories, learning taxonomy, modules, user interface principles, and usability that are appropriate with the application developed. MFolktales application was developed based on the results of the study. This paper also provides some discussions regarding the guidelines utilized in developing the prototype. Finally, a set of usability questions was given to 30 parents who have children aged between 3 to 12 years old to evaluate the usability level of the developed prototype. The results showed that majority of the respondents gave a positive feedback on the developed MFolktales application. © 2015 IEEE. date: 2016 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84995680357&doi=10.1109%2fISMSC.2015.7594055&partnerID=40&md5=9a2b7eeefe474d63952df2056bac4802 id_number: 10.1109/ISMSC.2015.7594055 full_text_status: none publication: 2015 International Symposium on Mathematical Sciences and Computing Research, iSMSC 2015 - Proceedings pagerange: 214-219 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781479978946 citation: Ibrahim, N. and Ahmad, W.F.W. and Shafie, A.
