The underlying basis of instructional multimedia is the theory of learning. Effective instructional design emerges from deliberate application of some particular theory of learning. Developers need to be aware of their personal teaching philosophies about the nature of learning, must constantly reexamine their assumptions in light of new findings about learning, and finally must select concepts and strategies from those theories that are consistent with the nature of learning. The purpose of this study is to identify educational philosophies of students who enrolled in educational technology program at the Ajman University of Science and Technology, United Arab Emirates. This study also aimed to identify the learning theories that students have applied in their multimedia project designs as fulfillments of their graduation course.
