The testing result of Animaker's web-assisted audio-visual teaching materials at the high school level shows an average score of 83.43% which indicates the Animaker-based audio-visual teaching materials are valid and feasible to use in High School Level. The average results of the feasibility assessment of operating audio-visual teaching materials with the aid of Animaker's web at the high school level based on the validator's perception, namely material experts 76.87% and design experts 90% fall into the criteria of good and very good.
