Abstract	The study was aimed at establishing how utilization of multimedia technology enhances teaching in the classroom at Victoria University. Objectives were to: establish the effect of pedagogical utilization of multimedia technology on the classroom teaching and also find out specific challenges faced by teacher-trainers in utilizing multimedia technology in teaching. A sample of (n = 36) respondents was selected randomly from two faculties which offer modules to teacher trainees: Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Faculty of Science and Technology, from whom data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Testing of hypothesis was done using Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient. Findings indicated that: multimedia technology significantly and positively correlated with classroom teaching with r = 0.915, and probability value (p = 0.002) which is less than α = 0.01. Teacher trainers were positive towards using multimedia resources, self-efficacy is important in using multimedia resources, teachers’ ICT background knowledge was found to be fundamental for technology integration, subject content knowledge was also found very influential for ICT integration, curriculum design, institutional ICT policies and leadership styles are all equally important in technology integration. In conclusion; multimedia technology promotes learner-centered approach, it was also concluded that, much as the benefits of multimedia technologies are enormous, it stands both internal and external challenges. It was recommended that, teacher-trainers need to invest more time in developing or identifying relevant multimedia resources for their students, but also institutions must develop appropriate policies for multimedia technology integration.
