It’s basically meant to elevate practical arts education efficiency and enhance learner self-directed learning capability. The findings of this study were as follows: First, the prepared Web-based multimedia materials could be applicable to whole class or to individual stages on a selective basis. Second, unlike classroom teaching, online instruction that takes advantage of homepage containing learning data section and discussion room and linking to related sites could enlarge the space of education without physical or spatial restriction, and then could contribute to enriching the thinking and experience of learners and subsequently improving their creativity. Third, the student group that took ICT-powered class about the unit of raising animals by using the Web-based multimedia materials made a bigger progress in academic achievement than the other group that didn’t. This fact indicated that the developed teaching materials were effective for instructing the unit. Fourth, when a survey was conducted to find out the efficiency of the Web-based multimedia materials, the students had a high opinion about their screen design, ease of use, learning interest and learning efficiency, which implied that the materials were of great use.
