This paper is focusing on multimedia design principles as a design strategy in designing and developing a multimedia learning application with purpose to increase children’s awareness of potential sexual abuse situations. Currently, children’s knowledge and awareness about danger and self-protection is still lacking and they are not totally aware of prohibited adult’s touches over their body. In such situation, they need to be educated and made aware of. In such situation, with the advantages of current multimedia technologies, learning can be supported by effective multimedia application. Accordingly, this study develops a learning application by adapting an instructional design model for design and development by Alessi and Trollip. Then, alpha and beta testing has been conducted with the help of an expert. It was found that the advantages of multimedia technology can facilitate children in better understanding of child sexual abuse and improve their awareness of the issues.
