Abstract The purpose of this research and software development is wanted to enhance the content deliverance of the knowledge among the UTP community. Directly to that reasons, the Multimedia presentations system hopefully will fulfilled this purpose. This research paper will be started on discussing about the problem statement of this project. Problem statement will be referred by the author as a material for the use of analyzing and designing the requirement of the systems. This paper will also discuss about the methodology which been used throughout the entire of development process of the system This project paper will discuss more on the hybrid methodology as the overall process of system development is based on this methodology. As the process of developing the system is nearing to the completion stage, the overall performance of this system will be discuss on the discussion and result part of this paper. That part will discuss about the problem which occurred during the development of the process and series of testing for the system As a conclusion, this project will be referred as new tools of combined technology of information deliverance for the UTP community. This project will be a starting point of enhancing the ways of interaction between the lecturer and student during their study.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to Allah, for His grace I was able to accomplish this project. I believe He has blessed me with sufficient strength and wisdom for me to carry out and complete this project I wish to thank to the University Technology ofPETRONAS (UTP) for the opportunity and experience for completing my final year project there. I am greatly appreciated all the lessons I have learned throughout my study. I also would like to put my highest gratitude to all UTP lecturers, especially my supervisor Mr. Suhaimi for the commitment and guidance in this project. Under his supervision, I was able to learn many new things especially on the subject regarding my project. I am very much indebted with him for the resources and time that he had provided me through the semester. Truly, his generous guidance and help has put a light on my path in carrying out the project. Your sharing of knowledge, kindness and patience will always be appreciated. Thank you also to all my friends for their generous help support. To my housemates, thanks a lot for the spirit. Last but not least, I would like to thank individuals such as the lab technician, other lecturers and students whose names are not mentioned but involved directly or indirectly in the success of this project.
