Users’ feedback 學生 自學平台 提升學習動機 老師 利用報告以改善學與教 照顧學習差異 對個別題目分析 替個別學生作補底溫習 減輕批改工作量 學校 毋須顧慮版權問題 更掌握學生學習進度以調適 教學策略 電子學習、無紙化、環保 筲箕灣東官立中學 高家浩老師

Users’ feedback 有倒數的時鐘, 非常有壓迫感， 令人認真 有電腦即時批改, 並可重溫錯處， 立刻知道自己錯的地方 老師可以 show 班中的趨勢圖， 每位同學可以知道自己在班中的 位置，更努力學習 較影印環保 迦密主恩中學 陳震河老師

Users’ feedback 對「網上試題學習平台」使用情況滿 意，以前無論是學校提供，或是學生自費購 買歷屆試題，需花的金錢及工序都不少。 以數學科為例，學校要求學生購買近 幾年的試題作練習之用，每年一本，一本要 四十多元，而比較舊的試題則靠學生會為同 學複印，各科合共的印刷費用，平均每位六、 七十元，既不環保，又需要老師將題目分門 別類，裁制成合適學生使用的練習，十分費 功夫。 在平台上要求學生於限時內完成測驗， 除了可重溫、鞏固已學的課程，更可參考答 對題目的學生人數，了解同學的進度。 聖嘉勒女書院 鄧務本老師
