Abstract

Due to the rapid changes caused by globalization and internationalization, this study focused on achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 15 via specific digital learning materials—animal conservation apps—particularly designed for enlarging primary school pupils’ knowledge of biodiversity and conservation of natural habitats, and promoting sustainable development and lifelong learning abilities. Through a collaboration with Taipei Zoo, this study recruited 37 undergraduates who took the Learning Design and Practice course to develop the digital learning-assisted materials, namely animal conservation apps and assessment tools that suited the digital learning materials. In the initiative stage of the course, the undergraduates were required to work as a team and to learn in a group by observing and experiencing the model apps provided in the class. The provided apps were developed in compliance with the ADDIE model. In the middle stage of the course, each team was asked to develop their team app and assessment tools following the ADDIE model. In the final stage, each team’s design results were evaluated based on the digital learning material scale and core competency test evaluation: art domain. The results show that the undergraduates were able to integrate the expertise they gained in the course to developing high-quality digital learning materials. According to the educational professionals’ evaluation, the assessment tools designed by the undergraduates scored high marks.
