ABSTRACT

The researcher thought that there was a great need to thoroughly examine the educational CD ROM before introducing digital textbooks. The way in which the multi-media function was carried out in 2009 revised CD ROM was minutely examined and the direction in which to develop in future was discussed. This paper looked at three themes of eight middle school CD ROMs – traditional festival[customs], historical figures[history], and edifying figures[story] -, by thoroughly examining these, several common characteristics could be found. Firstly, the multi-media function was used restrictively. The composition was concentrated in ‘introduction’ and ‘advanced section’ and the expression mode consisted of six forms. Observing these led this study to suggest that multi-media function should also be utilized more widely in ‘assessment’ as well as in ‘introduction’ and ‘advanced section’ and for presentation method, it was suggested to insert ‘audio’ function and to develop ‘question presentation’. Secondly, it was discovered that the contents were meager. This study actively looked for commercial contents and introduced some of them to emphasize the fact that the educational contents should have the degree of completion and fun that are not short of the commercial contents. In addition, this study also suggested to consider utilizing the AR(Augmented Reality). Lastly, it could be observed that the multi-media function, animation in particular was used uniformly in all chapters. This study is meaningful first attempt to examine the multi-media contents in Chinese character education which has more relevance in middle and high school classes where radical changes are expected due to full implementation of smart education policy.
