In the second stage, the design was piloted, student, expert and teacher opinions were received and analyzed, and the TCMD was reorganized based on the results obtained. In the last stage, the TCMD was evaluated by Turkish and information technologies and software teachers and experts. The study sample consisted of 143 participants, including 22 students and 15 experts in the qualitative phase and 78 Turkish and 28 information technologies and software teachers in the quantitative phase. The data were obtained through unstructured and semi-structured interview forms, unstructured observation and the “Educational Software Evaluation Form” (ESAF). Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis and quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The study revealed that both experts and students positively evaluated the TCMD prepared for Turkish language teaching based on its educational, visual design, multimedia, content, navigation setup and usage features. It was concluded that the information technologies and software teachers found the TCMD more adequate than the Turkish teachers in terms of educational software features.
