After the data was analysed, the value of the majority of respondents’ agreement for each of the 13 items in the questionnaire instrument was at level 4 which is strongly agree. The findings of the study showed that the majority of respondents were interested and agreed to use teaching aids that have been developed with the consent of 97%, which is the average mean level of usability of 3.51.
