Flash動畫設計課程的教師在進行各種動畫類型單元的教學時,經常須要搭配範例輔助教學,然而卻也須要教師花費時間自行製作或上網蒐集範例。因此,本研究利用一個具有線上Flash動畫蒐集與剖析功能的網路應用系統,蒐集目前商業網站上的Flash動畫作為範例,並將這些範例根據本研究整理出的四種不同的動畫類型做歸類,設計一個線上Flash動畫範例庫,接著進行系統前測,再根據前測結果進行修正後,將系統用來協助教師教學與學生觀摩學習,還可共同透過剖析出的影像解說與學習動畫的設計基本概念或討論各種動畫類型的製作手法。最後,在系統實測的部份,採用訪談與問卷調查之質量兼施的評估方法,藉此驗證本研究的可行性,根據系統實測結果顯示,教師與學生對本系統應用在Flash動畫設計課程有正面評價。
The teachers of Flash movies design courses often needed examples to assist their instructions during the teaching of various movies types and techniques. But to produce pedagogical Flash examples are time-consuming and sometimes un-nature. An alternative way to find suitable examples is by harvesting Flash movies on the Internet. But the usability of these Flash movies as teaching tools needs to be further investigated. Therefore, this study explored issues relating to the web-assisted Flash movies design instruction by building a web-based prototype with functions of harvesting, parsing and categorizing Flash movies. In our prototype, users could harvest Flash movies from the commercial websites as potential examples. These examples are parsed and classified into four different types of movies by instructors according to the techniques it employed. Gradually, instructors could build a web-based Flash movies examples library with functions to visualize some parsed components to help both teachers and students. We first built a draft prototype to solicit opinions for modification from five Flash instructors and designers. After modifications according these opinions, the prototype is demonstrated and used by selected instructors and learners to appreciate the basic design concept of Flash movies, or explore creative methods of movie-making through parsed images of Flash movies. Finally, we use interview and questionnaire methods to evaluate the usability of the prototype. The preliminary result shows encouraging feedback from these potential users.
