This paper discusses the theoretical framework in designing and developing a multimedia appintended toincrease knowledge and perceived awareness towards cyber-bullying amongadolescents. Given that cyber-bullying has become more serious lately, steps should be takento ensure that this threat is curtailed (Willard, 2007). Other than the conventional methods andthe involvement of parents, schools and the society in curtailing this problem, other initiativesthat could be taken include developing a Multimedia App on tablets that would be able to assistadolescents in increasing their knowledge and awarenesson cyber-bullying. Development ofan interactive Multimedia App that comes with attractive graphics, audio and animation havegreat potential in attracting the interest of adolescents in gaining a deeper understanding ofthis issue. Therefore, the theoretical framework maps and integrates all relevant theories,principles and guidelines to form a concrete pathway for the design and development of themultimedia app.
