碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 工業科技教育學系 === 92 === Common educational web-based assessment systems are facing two challenges in development: insufficient variety of question types and integration of media formats, as past literature stated. This study tried to design and build up a web-based multimedia assessment authoring system featuring customization and ease of use templates – containing several question types and supporting a variety of media – to simplify and streamline the creation process. Therefore, instructors are able to create and manage a web-based assessment with pre-customized templates and media formats after lecturing; students are able to take the exam for self-evaluation and practices whenever learning activities are finished. This system was innovated and implemented through System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), and a Template-based Multimedia Assessment Authoring system was therefore formed, highlighting the multiple module function as well as the integration of various media types, and introducing streaming technology to solve the bandwidth problem for media transmission caused by audio and video. Internal and external evaluations were conducted later on via experts’ comments. Survey results indicated that most of the experts were unanimously holding a positive attitude toward the system, and so were the instructors who actually implemented it into lecturing. With respect to students’ learning results, statistical data gained from quasi-experimental design and covariance analysis showed the experimental group with the designed system’s support was more likely to achieve higher scores than the one without it and meanwhile a statistical significances was exerted, too. Finally, the author proposed further research implications and directions on this emerging topic.
