Development of the Multimedia Authoring System for Classroom Teachers and Trial of Teaching Materials Development and Use

本研究的目的是开发一个辅助教师自制多媒体教材的系统。前两年的工作主要是调查和评估现有的教材，并开发出可在Windows系统上使用的写作系统。今年，利用该写作系统制作了一批教材，并进行了试用，以完善写作系统。小学科学的《鱼的解剖》、小学家务和测量血压的《制袋》、《肌肉注射训练》、用于护士教育的《呼吸音听力训练》是使用编写系统开发的部分教材。《鱼的解剖学》是由一名从未使用过计算机的大四学生开发的。这证明，只需一天的培训，一个人就可以开发出一种多媒体教材，除了文字之外，还可以使用视频图像、音频声音、静止图片和图形。这些材料被用于课堂，并被证明是非常有效的。学习者对这些材料的反应非常好。

The aim of this research is to develop a system that will assist school teachers in creating their self-made multimedia teaching materials.The first two years were spent on surveying and evaluating existing materials and developing authoring system that can be used on windows system.In the current year, a number of teaching materials were created using this authoring system, which were then put to trial use to improve the authoring system."Anatomy of Fish" for primary school science, "Making bags" for primary school home-making and "Measuring blood pressure", "Training for muscle injection", and "Training of hearing respiratory sounds" for nurses' education are some of the teaching materials developed using the authoring system."Anatomy of fish" was developed by a senior student who had no previous experience with a computer. This is a proof that after only one-day training, a person can develop a multimedia teaching material using video images, audio sounds, still pictures and drawings as well in addition to text. These materials were used in classrooms and proved to be very effective. Learners' responses to the materials were very favorable.
