Students' Readiness and Perceptions Towards Unity for Developing a Multimedia Interactive Package

This study investigates students' readiness and perceptions towards using Unity, a development platform, for creating a Multimedia Interactive Package (MIP). With the growing demand for interactive digital content in education, it is crucial to understand students’ readiness and perceptions in engaging with a platform like Unity in developing a language learning application in the form of MIP. The study examines language students' technology readiness as well as their perceptions towards integrating technology into educational content creation. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey to gather data using a set of questionnaires. The sample involved university language students who enrolled in multimedia development courses. Results indicate that while students generally show enthusiasm for using Unity, students faced challenges that may affect their learning experiences. However, the perceived benefits, including enhanced creativity, interactivity, and practical skill development, contribute to a positive overall attitude. The findings suggest that with adequate support and training, Unity can be a valuable tool for developing educational MIPs, promoting both student engagement and technical proficiency.
