The employed research instruments included a note taking form for group discussion, an interview structure, a questionnaire, a media quality assessment form, a learning achievement test, and a media satisfaction assessment form. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics of frequency and percentage, E1/E2 (80/80) efficiency index, t-test, and t-score. The results showed that (1) quality assessment of the developed multimedia for health promotion of the elderly by the experts revealed that the multimedia was appropriate at the high level with the rating mean of 4.05; (2) the developed multimedia for health promotion of the elderly was efficient at 84.00/84.67 which was higher than the 80/80 criterion; (3) comparison result of learning achievement scores before and after learning from the multimedia revealed that the post-learning mean score was higher than its pre-learning counterpart at the .05 level of statistical significance; (4) the post-learning achievement scores were increased by 45.54% when compared to the pre-learning achievement scores; and (5) the satisfaction with the multimedia for health promotion of the elderly was at the high level.
