A sample of 189 respondents was selected randomly in order to seek for the needs in designing the Interactive Web Multimedia Dictionary. Results showed that the overall mean of information design based on Andragogy was 4.34 whereas for interaction design based on Wikis was 4.29 and as for interface design based on multimedia elements, the mean was 3.36. These showed that the adults agreed with the incorporation of Andragogy principles and Wikis in teaching and learning process.
