Abstract
The introduction of interactive technologies turns traditional concepts of teacher-centred teaching into student-centred learning pattern. Take environmental science learning as main subject, this study designs and develops an interactive educational device based on interactive media display technology, and to examine its acceptance. A simulated Earth is designed and embedded with interactive technologies to allow the users to interact with. System feedbacks comprise a projected animation on the ground and voice to explain the meaning of the user’s action and the relation to environmental issue. The results show that most of the users can understand the purpose of the interaction and the contents of the environment issue which are introduced. It is concluded that the introduction of interactive technologies can arouse students’ interests in learning and improve their motivation as it creates new learning experience, particularly for popular science education.
