Most IT professional books sold in the market are reference books for self-learners learning software such as Photoshop, Flash and 3D Max, etc. These books might be somewhat helpful for teaching and learning but they are not ideal instructional materials for teachers.
The main purpose of this study is to edit an instructional textbook for teachers in teaching iClone and Mimir APP, both of which are important topics for multimedia courses in Taiwan. iClone is a platform for rapid creation of 3D character creation, and Mimir APP is an interactive multimedia e-book creation platform. Both iClone and Mimir APP were created by Taiwan's engineering teams who worked hard and continued to improve these two instruments. In addition, the study also investigates senior high school teachers’ textbook use and training programs.
