In the present context of artificial intelligence, student-teachers need to understand technological applications in education and incorporate them into their classroom instruction. Technological applications help in connecting and collaborating beyond geographical boundaries. The student-teachers should be equipped with the knowledge and understanding of the benefits of incorporating technology into their teaching practices and it should be the focus of teachertraining to equip them with the necessary skills to utilize these applications in their practice. The ICT in Education course was introduced in one of the University's pre-service teacher education programs in India to facilitate student-teachers to gain the ICT skills needed to integrate it into teaching. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the multimedia package on student-teachers at the pre-service level based on empirical evidence. Some of the findings suggest that the use of the multimedia package not only helps student-teachers identify and use resources effectively but also delivers the content meaningfully. The Multimedia packages could serve as a tool for educators to deliver subject content efficiently. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
