摘要

本研究計畫主要在探討一套國小教師編輯數位教材的工具，用以製作具有動畫教學代理人的數位教材。這套提供教師使用的數位教材編輯工具，可以將多媒體素材(包含：文字、圖片、影音檔案等)，結合如同虛擬教師的動畫教學代理人一起放入數位教材裡。
這套教學軟體選擇在一間國小進行測試。從問卷調查的結果顯示，包括教師和學生等參與測試的人員對於這套課程教學軟體大多數都傾向滿意的程度，也大致同意這套具有動畫教學代理人的數位教材確實能促進教學效果。因此，這套課程教學軟體確實提供教師一個可以提高課程教學價值和提昇學生學習興趣及動機的機會。

The main purpose of the study is to describe a project of courseware which has an authoring tool for elementary school teachers to construct interactive multimedia teaching materials that incorporate animated pedagogical agents. The authoring tool allows a teacher to design teaching materials that incorporate external multimedia objects (i.e., on-screen texts, images, video/audio files, etc.), and further script animated pedagogical agents to be tutors in these materials.
The courseware was examined in an elementary school. The results of questionnaire reveal that participants including teachers and students were satisfied with the design of courseware. They also agreed that animated tutors in multimedia materials edited form the courseware can promote instructional effect. Thus, the courseware provides the opportunity for teachers to enhance their pedagogical value to the curriculum, further promotes students’ interest and motivation in learning.
