「線上註記」是將電腦輔助溝通的技術應用在線上閱讀的方法之一,可提供使用者同步或非同步的合作學習機會。讀者們不再是被動的觀看網頁上的內容,而可以自由的交換或是增加個人看法或相關資料,因此可以把網路轉換成一個活潑的協同閱讀環境。本研究的文獻探討結論顯示,「線上註記」可心幫助語文學習,然而「線上註記」對閱讀理解的影響還需進一步探究。此外,以協同閱讀爲主而設計的線上註記系統仍待開發。針對這兩項需要,本研究的目的有二:(1)先根據相關文獻整理出有助於閱讀理解的線上的註記需求主,並據此發展一套線上註記系統(AnCoRead)。(2)系統開展完成後,採用實驗方法進一步探討線上註記系統對閱讀理解的影響,並且研究學習者對於線上的註記系統的態度。實驗結果顯示:(1)在態度調查方面,學習者普遍認爲此可提高學習興趣;「分享註記」功能可以提升閱讀效率。(2)在閱讀理解方面,閱讀理解測驗結果顯示,使用具有「分享註記」功能之組別在閱讀理解之得分比無「分享註記」之組別爲高。本研究並提出未來的研究建議。
Annotations are the notes a reader makes to himself/herself. Online Annotations is one of the applications of CMC, and can provide synchronous and asynchronous collaboration among groups of EFL readers. With online annotations, readers are no longer limited to viewing content passively on the Web, but are free to add and share commentary and links, thus transforming the Web into an interactive medium for EFL reading. According to our literature review, online annotations may facilitate language learning. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the impact of online annotations on EFL reading processes and comprehension. Besides, the online annotation systems that may enable EFL students to share, catalogue, and search annotations need to be developed. This study has two goals: (1) developing a prototype online annotation system (AnCoRead) based on the results of surveying related annotation systems and related studies, and (2) examining the effects of online annotations on students’ reading comprehension. Students' attitudes toward using this system for collaborative reading were also studied. Results show that ; (1) AnCoRead raised students' interests and motivation toward online reading, and (2) the group with ”annotation sharing” feature had higher scores on recall protocols and recalled more idea units with more importance.
