  Abstract:  This article presents the preliminary findings of research which aimed to explore the influence of a Timed Browser (*TB) as an innovative pedagogy on computer science students’ motivation to learn programming language. The rapid development of web-based instruction enhances the need of teachers and curricula developers to investigate the individual learner’s characteristics and needs, the interaction within teaching systems, and the new role of the instructor, website developer, and the student within the learning process. First, a literature review will provide the theoretical foundation, and then the quantitative methodology used in stage 1 of the research will be presented. Finally, the findings that emerged from the first stage of research on a PhD level will be presented and discussed.

Key words: web-based instruction, timed browser (*TB), computer science, programming language, motivation to learn.
