Abstract |

| |
This study develops an instructional system for teachers to instantly create life-like multimedia instructional materials in a physical or cyber classroom. The teachers use the system to capture teachers’ facial expression, voice, handwriting, and other activities for material presentation during instruction. Subsequently, the teachers can also manage and maintain the multimedia materials. Due to the produced multimedia materials with the features of life-like and media richness, the kind of multimedia materials can help students to review the life-like instructional procedures in the physical classroom. Consequently, two classes with 87 students participated in the experiment. The results show that the students in the experimental group achieved better performance than those in the control group. Finally, this paper discusses the impact of the fitness of multimedia instructional materials on students’ performance and satisfaction. |
