Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine students’ opinions about the effects of four types of multimedia software developed by considering pace (system or learner paced) and modality (written text or narration) on their motivation. Participants of the study were 97 freshmen students from a university in Turkey. There were four groups in the study. First group took learner paced instructions with written text and animation (WA+L). Second group took system paced instructions with written text and animation (WA+S). Third group took learner paced instructions with narration and animation (NA+L). And fourth group took system paced instruction with narration and animation (NA+S). Qualitative data were collected through an open-ended questionnaire. Results showed that students who studied learner paced software stated more positive opinions than students who studied system paced software. Furthermore, it can be said that NA+L group showed highest study motivation.
