Abstract
Background: Learning physiology has always been a challenge among the 1st year MBBS students. More challenging is to understand the concepts of various physiological events. Traditional teaching methods like didactic lectures set in a sense of boredom over a period of time and lead to lack of attention to lectures.

Aim and Objective: The aim of this study was to redesign the regular didactic lecture classes by incorporating audio-visual demonstrations, animations related to the lecture topic, and then to test students recall of material presented to them through multimedia presentations.

Materials and Methods: A total of 138 1st year MBBS students participated in this study. A questionnaire was administered seeking the students perceptions on the use of multimedia in better understanding and recall of the study material. A post multimedia lecture assessment was conducted to test their recalling ability.

Results: Perceptions of 136 students (98.55%) were that multimedia lecture class is a useful method to be attentive and hence enables to understand important points of the lecture and later recollect the material in a better way, which was also evidenced by their performance on the post multimedia lecture test, which showed significant results with an overall mean score in post multimedia lecture test (4.42 marks of 5 marks).

Conclusion: Since visual media and technology have become a part and parcel of the current generation, it is inevitable in medical education too.

Key words: Multimedia; Didactic Lecture; Physiology
