本研究開發了體感多媒體雲族學習套件，以協助學生記憶雲屬的分類法則與內容。旨在透過使用微軟Kinect，製作十個動作指令以對應十個雲屬的手勢控制PowerPoint，PowerPoint簡報內容為各雲族形成狀態與出現時間，學生自行執行研究者預先定義的手勢之後，學生的前測和後測知識測試分析顯示，學生在使用體感多媒體雲族學習套件前後效果顯著。經過6個月後，學生還記得一半以上的雲屬內容，且6個月內，學生在地球科學課中未修習與雲族有相關的內容。結果表明，體感多媒體雲族學習套件可以是一種教學方法，體感多媒體在協助學生記憶雲屬的分類法則與內容是可行的一項教學方式。

This study developed a gesture-based multimedia presentation to assist student in memorizing the cloud categories. By using Microsoft Kinect, a set of pre-defined gestures was designed to control a PowerPoint presentation of cloud categories. Students can perform the pre-defined gestures to assess the knowledge about cloud categories. The analysis on students’ pre- and post-knowledge tests revealed that the students acquired the knowledge about cloud categories quite well right after the instruction. Moreover, six months later, students still remembered more than half of the content of cloud categories. The results indicated that, as an alternative teaching approach, the gesture-based multimedia presentation is feasible to assist student in memorizing the cloud categories.
