A Study in Developing a Mechatronics Learning System based on Human-Computer Interaction Design

[[abstract]]教育受科技發展的影響至鉅，而科技的發明與進步也帶給教學界更多的突破及刺激。新科技結合了媒體特性、互動、個別、串連等教學策略與功能，而將軟體的控制能力更多地轉移到學習者身上。使用者介面設計的優良並不能保證學習效果良好，然而不當的介面設計將令使用者在學習使用之初便挫折連連，十分沮喪，不但阻礙了學習，更浪費了許多時間。此將造成資訊運用的障礙而產生溝通或學習不良，因此人機介面設計的重要性可以說是與日俱增。 然而數位學習並不是把課本教材數位化後，放置於網路上提供學生學習。洪明洲（1999）認為只是將教材資料上網供學生瀏覽，讓學生「熟悉網路環境」、「閱覽課程資料」等，並非就是「網路教學」。網路教學必須在系統設計與教學實施方面，合乎教學的基本規格，以確保教學品質。故本研究運用Huang（2005）的理論並運用介面設計原則建立適合機電整合系統的互動式多媒體學習模組。 本研究透過實驗設計，並根據文獻與使用者問卷調查結果，所設計的『機電整合數位學習系統』，在評量之後得知本數位學習系統在對於推導機電整合系統是有實務上幫助的。期待本研究建置數位學習系統的模式，可提供給其他研究者建置數位學習系統時的依據，以設計出一套能加強學習者學習成效與使用經驗，以及能有效輔佐老師的教學軟體。[[abstract]]Education is influenced greatly by technical development. Besides, the technical invention and progress also provide a breakthrough and stimulation in the educational field. The new science and technology combine the media characteristic, the interaction, individual and contacts in the teaching strategies and function, and transfer the control ability of the software to learner more. Man-machine interface design is fine can not guarantee the good learning effect. However, the poor interface design will make the user feel disappointment when they learn to use in the beginning. It not only hinders users’ learning, but also wastes much time. This will cause the barrier to the information application, low quality of communication or bad effect of learning. Therefore the importance of man-machine interface design becomes more and more important as days go by. However, e-learning doesn’t mean that you put the materials on the internet after digitizing them. The “e-learning ” doesn’t mean that put the teaching materials on the internet for students to surf and let them become familiar with network environment and read the curriculum materials, which is pointed out by Hong Mingzhou (1999). The e-learning must suit with the basic specification of the teaching in the system design and the teaching implementation, to ensure the teaching quality. Therefore this research adopted Huang’s(2005) theory and used the interface principle of design to establish the interactive multimedia learning modules which suits the mechanical and electrical conformity system . The “mechatronics learning system”, devised by this research that is tested through experimental design and questionnaire investigation of the user, is helpful to the practical field after being evaluated. I hope the e-learning system, established by this research, can provide a basis for other researchers who want to establish one themselves, too. Then, they can devise a teaching software which can elevate students’ learning effect and help teachers’ instruction
