Figure 4.25 Instructions Slide of IPA-MT Since the activity in this program was totally different from the previous one, the instruction must be read well by the user. The activity in this program was for the follow up activity after the user following the pre-activity and main activities. Figure 4.24 describes the instructions that must be followed by the user.

The entire designed learning model such as Presentation Section, Check Your Understanding Section, and Exercise Section applied the rich media including slide background, font, text and bullet points, tittles and headings, color, images, engagement, movement, music, video. Berk 2011 claimed that rich media in PowerPoint could grab students’ attention, improve learning, and increase retention or transfer information. However, just employing rich media was not enough to achieve those goals. Other PowerPoint components, thus, were implemented including Kiosk mode, macros, and saving as PowerPoint. Kiosk mode and macros were responsible for creating the reading activities such as true false, multiple choices and other reading activities in Exercise Section. They were also responsible for supporting the interactivity such as responses, score, countdown timer, key answers and etc. in each slide of IPA designed by Dwijatmoko 2015 that were acceptable for Junior High School students to learn reading. Besides, saving as PowerPoint was responsible for controlling the students’ interaction with the learning model in order to follow the instruction in order way.
