Currently, multimedia teaching tools are being widely used and proven to be effective in enhancing the academic performances in theoretical teaching. [...]our study was aimed to enhance the teaching learning process in practical demonstrations by judicious use of multimedia along with traditional hands-on demonstration method and also focuses on the effect on the long-term retention ability of practical knowledge and skills. [...]in the current situation, the introduction of PPT with animation in practical classes with small group discussion may help learner grasp the class better and have a lasting impact. [...]multimedia enhanced teaching activity can be an effective tool in bringing a remarkable change in the learner's behavior both in cognitive and psychomotor domains.
