Maintaining and increasing intrinsic motivation in multimedia learning environments is a challenge. Although there are design principles to provide guidance, there remains a question of how to measure the impact on learner interest. The current study examined the application of situational interest theory and proposes a modified survey adapted from the Situational Interest Survey to use in evaluating the effects of multimedia design on the interest of learners.
