Interface Efficiency Designed for a Traditional Shadow Play Lesson

This paper discusses the use of computer interactive media in a traditional shadow play lesson for elementary students. The researchers digitalized traditional shadow play rules, photos, and other related information by applying twodimensional animation techniques. The instructional material was used to assist the instructor’s teaching, as well as to help the students to understand the major themes of traditional shadow play. Learners were able to manipulate the operations and performance skills of Shadow Play through this interactive CD-ROM. This paper examines the role of computer interactive material in order to explore students' perceptions of multimedia applications in classroom settings and how digital technology motivates learners to come to an understanding of specific content area. Students were asked to complete a survey comprised of four-point Likert Scale questions based on their learning attitudes toward this lesson.
