Abstract

Nowadays, because of the expansion of high-speed networking, people highly depend upon computers and the Internet to receive information and acquire knowledge. Education is gradually transforming from teacher-centric to student-centric. Instructors have become facilitators, tutors, coaches, guides and motivators. As a result, instruction has become non-linear and self-directed. Traditional classroom lectures are being gradually replaced by interactive teaching approaches. To reflect this trend, new forms of instruction must also take learners' needs into consideration. Consequently, interactive multimedia (IM) integrated instruction has become a must in Taiwanese higher education. Today, IM and courseware are required educational media in almost every Taiwanese university. WuFeng University (WFU) is no exception, as it is dedicated to sharing the hands-on teaching experience of WIN, a Web-based courseware, creative interactive PowerPoint lessons (PPTs), and online tests to promote active learning and teaching of freshman English for Applied English majors.
