Research presented in this thesis is, above all, based on hypothesis that multimedia content makes educational material more accessible and interesting, easier to create and financially more effective. Therefore, acquiring information by learning from multimedia enriched content stands for better results thus improving the very process of education especially in the area of biomedical sciences. Goals set by the research implied: preparing of educational material through classic and multimedia methods, comparing of the achieved level of knowledge and student perceptions and determination of financial efficiency of both classic and multimedia methods of preparing educational material. Research included 60 students of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Zagreb. Teaching material used for experiment comprised of two units from the subject Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases both of which were prepared by classic and multimedia methods. Classic educational material consisted of textbook lessons of two parasitic diseases, while multimedia educational material consisted of multimedia presentation prepared and demonstrated on a computer, equipped with adequate software. The effects of two educational methods were evaluated by means of written exam applied immediately upon learning sessions and by means of questionnaire in which the examinees were able to express their perceptions in form of answers to questions and written commentary. The results of the research showed that the multimedia content makes teaching material more accessible, more interesting and even more amusing. Even though the results showed that examinees achieved higher score answering visually characterized questions, the total score of the exam indicated just a slight advantage of one method (multimedia) over the another (classic). Economic cost analyses of preparing and presenting the educational material showed that the cost of multimedia method application was higher in the first year. But however, throughout longer (three year) period of time those expenses, compared to classic method, would reduce and reach their constant. Results established by this research can be applied as a starting point in evaluation of multimedia techniques efficiency within various fields of science especially those related to biomedical sciences. This sets a possibility of more detailed planning of educational process which is, considering these areas of science, increasingly more based on computer application and presentation as well as patterns and illustrations which replace the work with live animals.
