E-campus 教學平台在桌上型電腦與手持式裝置的效能差異

Abstract

E-campus系統是交通大學教務處數位內容製作中心研發出來的教學系統，該系統經由網路構建出一個不受實體空間限制的學習環境。由於線上學習已是未來學習的發展趨勢之一，再加上行動網路快速發展的推波助瀾之下，利用智慧型行動裝置透過無線網路來學習已是未來的發展方向。交通大學的學生以往從桌上型電腦來使用E-campus系統，現在隨著時代的進步以及行動網路的普及，智慧型行動裝置已是一種非常重要的通訊平台，相對於桌上型電腦搭配有線網路的通訊方式，智慧型行動裝置藉著其可以隨時隨地得到和處理資訊的優勢，而逐漸成為人類獲取資訊的重要來源，因此我們亦發展手持式裝置版本的E-campus軟體。早期的手持式E-campus版本執行於手機瀏覽器，之後有優化的交大應用程式版本。

當E-campus相同的功能分別在chrome瀏覽器和交大應用程式執行時，會因為網路的差異或存取軟體不同造成執行時間的快慢，進而影響到使用者的體驗。本論文藉由量測各功能群組(登入與公告，試卷管理，討論區管理，成員列表)時間，分析並比較chrome瀏覽器和交大應用程式反應時間的差異。量測時間顯示出交大應用程式的反應時間較小。

E-campus system is a teaching system developed by National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) Digital Pontent Production Center. Via the Internet, E-campus builds a learning environment without physical space constraint. On the other hand, the use of smart mobile devices for learning over the wireless network is essential to online learning, which is a future trend of learning with the rapid development of mobile Internet. The NCTU students use the E-campus system from their desktop computers in the past. Smart mobile device has become a very important communication platform with the progress of the times and the popularity of mobile Internet. Smart mobile device can receive and process information anytime and gradually become an important source of human access to information. Therefore, NCTU has developed a handheld device software version of E-campus. Early version of handheld E-campus ran on cellular phone browser chrome, which is not very efficient. To address the efficient issue, NCTU developed an optimized application.

When the optimized application and chrome browser run the same E-campus functions, the execution times caused by different networks and software affect the user experience. In this thesis, we analyze and compare the response time performance of the desktop, the standard chrome browser, and the optimized application by measuring the functional group times. Our study indicated that the response times of the optimized NCTU application are significantly smaller than the chrome browser version.
