社群媒體作為評量平臺之可行性初探：以全國夏季學院通識課程「動漫與政治」為例

The Feasibility of Social Media as Evaluation Platforms: A Study of ''Animation and Politics'' Course in Summer College

社群媒體的興起，使得人們的交往形式產生深刻且巨大的變化。尤其是年輕世代，每天熱衷於Instagram、X、Youtube、LINE與Facebook。那麼將這樣的熱情與通識課程相結合是否可行呢？本文介紹筆者於全國夏季學院課程「動漫與政治」進行的創意實驗，經由針對性的評量設計，將課堂作業、期中上臺報告與期末訪談錄影，分別以社群媒體的三大功能：貼文、直播與限時動態對應，讓學生發布於自己的社群媒體帳號，好友可以對其進行按讚、留言與分享。同時因應課程的屬性將動漫元素融合，增添趣味性與話題性。實踐的結果表明，學生對於這樣的評量方式有著較高的參與熱情與評價，不同於以往的紙筆測驗與學校教學平臺繳交。然而，此評量設計仍然存在侷限與困難，例如社群媒體的微網誌屬性，以及用戶權限所產生事後查證的困難。總體而言「用手機寫作業、用IG交作業」的創新，對於通識課程的活潑化與生活化有著相當程度的助益。

The rise of social media has obviously and deeply changed the way people interact with each other. Especially among the youngsters, social medias such as Instagram, X, Youtube, LINE, Facebook, etc. have become necessities in their daily lives and spend so much time on social medias. Therefore, the feasibility to combine social media and course evaluation is worthy of study in general course. This article introduces the author's creative and inspiring experiment in the Summer college course ''Animation and Politics'' in 2023. The evaluation designs, such as class assignments, midterm presentations, and final interview videos, were corresponded with the three major functions of social media: post, live, and stories. Therefore, students could create three of the above on their own social media accounts, and their friends on social could click like, write comment, and share their opinions freely without class pleasure. At the same time, animation materials were integrated into the designs to add fun and creativity because of the subject of lesson. Finally, the results show that students have higher enthusiasm using such designs, because evaluation using social media is very different from the traditional ways such as attending paper-and-pencil tests and submitting by academic platforms. However, there are still several limitations and difficulties found in the practice of evaluation. First, the nature of social media is a kind of microblog, which is brief to read quickly and uneasy to interpret completely. So the fragmentation of social media is almost impossible to overcome. Second, permissions of common users including teacher and student are equal, it is hard to re-verify if there are arguments after evaluation because users can revise or delete posts and comments without opening logs. In conclusion, social media can be an alternative platform compared with traditional one because youngsters are adept at the former. the innovation of ''writing assignments with cell phones and handing with IG'' is, on the whole, quite inspiring to the evaluation of general course.
