In this context, students will learn better if they know and use their intelligence. Lecturers play an important role in planning the teaching and learning activities in order to meet the needs of intelligence, which consist of the nine intelligences that introduced by Gardner. Objective: The objective of this paper is to analyze the perceptions and attitudes towards the usage of Online Multiple Intelligence Teaching Tools (On-MITT) in learning programming. Results: A total of 36 students from Politeknik Merlimau Melaka (PMM) responded to the survey. Learning Questionnaire is used as the instrument to measure the ease of use and usefulness towards the usage of On-MITT in learning programming. Based on the findings, the On-MITT can enhance learning in programming subject. Conclusion: It can be concluded that On-MITT can motivate students to use online learning in class. Adding others type of intelligence in On-MITT should be developed in order to achieve an effective teaching and learning process.
