碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 應用藝術研究所 === 94 === There are three main purposes in this thesis: In the first case, we studied the meaning of interactivity and probed the interactivity function for categorizing the categories and the items of elementary school website. The second step, we started to explore elementary schools’ class websites with content analysis, to find out how the class websites been constructed, and the frequency of the interactivity functions in them. The third purpose is to study a case design in our school, building an interactive class website in PHP with those categories and items. For popularizing the website constructing system, after finishing the project we also tried to train and teach teachers how to use. At the last step, we invited teachers to evaluate the website constructing system with questionnaires in order to let us understanding the usability and the importance of the interactivity functions of the website. We hop we could build a practical design framework and give a good suggestion on the class website design. We generalized 8 categories and 22 items from the related literature review to explore elementary school’s class websites with content analysis, the results shows below: 1. There were about one-fifth schools that barely construct their class website. 2. The percentage of using the interactivity functions in the class website was only up to 43%, it is still weak. 3. The most of the ways that teachers used in building their website was freeware, but the commercial website got the highest score in interactivity function. 4. Villages and small towns were better than the city, but the large-sized schools still possessed the superiority in interactivity functions presentation. 5. Fifth grade was the best, but sixth grade was the worst. 6. The frequency of Related Information Linking Function was up to the first, but Recreation Function got the last. As for the case design, we programmed the class constructing website system in PHP and MySQL according to 8 categories and 22 items. After teachers’ evaluating for the website we got the results below: 1. Teachers were satisfied with the class constructing website system for the most part. 2. Teachers all approved the usability and the importance of the class constructing website system. 3. Teachers usually maintain “Guest Book”, “Communication Book”,” File folders” and “Photo album”. 4. The reasons why teachers like using the class constructing website system were “Interface is easy to use”, “Easy to maintain” and “Easy to communicate”.
