This dissertation explores how teachers perceive and engage with multimedia integration in their online teaching practices to effectively involve students. The study specifically focused on teachers in grades three through seven at an international school in Saudi Arabia. The research questions delved into teachers' descriptions of their perceptions and experiences when using online technology and utilizing appropriate multimedia to engage students. The literature review highlighted the existing gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application when it comes to integrating technology and multimedia in the learning environment. The research presented the TPACK framework and multimedia cognitive theory as guiding principles for effective integration. The methodology employed qualitative data collection methods, including interviews and focus groups, ensuring validation checks and ethical procedures were in place. The findings shed light on the adaptation of teaching in online classrooms using technology tools, the challenges faced by teachers, practical approaches to multimedia usage, and the correlation between multimedia utilization and student engagement. Teachers expressed the importance of support systems such as training programs, colleagues, and ICT departments in the school, which helped them navigate the features of online platforms and efficiently incorporate them into their teaching. Despite the challenges faced in integrating multimedia into distance learning, teachers mentioned several multimedia applications that effectively engaged their students in online classrooms. They also shared practical teaching instructions for leveraging multimedia to deliver learning content effectively. The conclusion emphasizes the significance of teachers' technological proficiency and the careful selection of multimedia content to enhance student engagement.
