碩士 === 臺北市立大學 === 資訊科學系碩士在職專班 === 107 === Annotation is the procedure of document processing, and it can help the readers to clarify the key point of reading text. Therefore, the annotated content shared among peers has the effectiveness of promoting the learning achievement. Some annotation systems were developed for educational use. Nevertheless, those systems have some limitations in practical application, such as deploying in specific operating system merely, Flash-based environment, without supporting mobile devices, not offering available document for annotation, and so on. As a result, this study is to develop an annotation system for different computing devices without aforementioned limitations. This study adopted agile software development model and new web technology for developing this system including RWD, php and HTML 5. The system can be used in any mobile devices with main steam web browsers. There are many features in this system including many annotation types, automatic document type conversion, automatic comparison of annotated content between the learners and experts, peer assessment and reviewing, school-based management for annotation activities in different courses. In order to investigate the educational suitability of this annotation system, this study adopted technology acceptance model (TAM for abbrev.) for system evaluation. This system evaluation questionnaire consists of six facets including functions and interface suitability, easiness to use, usefulness to use, interest to use, willing to use, and instructional effectiveness. This study employed ICT experts and experienced instructional experts for evaluating this system. In addition, this study conducted a short term learning experiment of annotation activities in statistics courses of public university. After experiment, the participants were asked to evaluate this system as well. The evaluation results revealed that most of experts and the learners show high and positive appraisal toward this annotation system functions and future educational applications.
