我的現任班導師達馬萬教授曾對我說：「我認為你不僅要成為一位優秀的老師，也可以成為一位傑出的科學家。」這句話深深烙印在我的腦海中，不僅讓我在數位學習領域大開眼界，也促使我以大學部學生的身分與系上教授共同參與研討會，甚至成為論文的共同作者，並在研討會上進行全英文發表。
感謝達馬萬教授願意帶領我參與2025 TWELF數位學習研討會，以及發表共同論文的機會。這次發表的論文主題就是我們在修習系上其中一門課程中，針對小組設計VR(虛擬實境)的互動討論實況，利用知識網絡分析的研究方法歸納小組在合作完成指定任務中，在同儕互動之間的關聯性。雖然就算我對於論文內的數據分析與研究方法還沒有完備的基礎知識，我只是本篇論文內的受試者之一而已，不過達馬萬教授仍然在Q&A時協助我回答一些教授的提問，讓我能夠在發表時間內和其他志同道合的教授與研究生們分享研究成果！
此外，我也透過這次研討會認識很多來自全台各大學，擁有數位科技研究背景的教授與研究生，一同切磋關於數位學習在跨領域實踐的研究與教學成果。在台下許多教授的眼中，或許自己的表現令人刮目相看，我就成為這些教授中被鎖定的招生對象，因此自己手上也添增不少未來研究所的選項呢!從這個經驗也要告訴準大學生們，我認為升上大學就要好好把握手邊所有學習資源，其帶來的影響力不僅僅只是豐富我們的大學生活，也會成為人生中的重要里程碑哦!
My current class mentor, Professor Damawan, once said to me, "I think you have to be a great scientist as well as a great teacher." This sentence not only left a deep impression on me but also opened my eyes to the field of digital learning. It even granted me the opportunity to participate in academic forums alongside professors in my department and co-author a paper that was later published in English.
Thanks to Dr. Damawan, I was able to immerse myself in the 2025 TWELF atmosphere and seize the opportunity to present a joint paper. The topic of our paper was the reality of interactive discussions in VR (Virtual Reality) group design within one of our department’s courses. We employed the research method of "Epistemic Network Analysis" to examine the correlation between peer interaction and group cooperation in completing assigned tasks. Although I lacked a solid foundation in data analysis and research methodologies, and I was merely one of the subjects in this study, Dr. Damawan still assisted me in replying other professors’ questions during the Q&A session. This support allowed me to share our research findings with other harmonious professors and graduate students during the conference.
Moreover, through this forum, I had the chance to meet numerous professors and graduate students from universities across Taiwan with backgrounds in digital technology research. We engaged in discussions about digital learning and its interdisciplinary applications in teaching and research. In the eyes of many professors in the audience, my performance might have been impressive, potentially making me a target for recruitment among graduate programs. As a result, I have gained a variety of options for future research opportunities.
Last but not least, I want to encourage the upcoming college students to make full use of the learning resources available from the department, and you can find that the benefits extend beyond enriching college life—they can also become significant milestones in your academic and professional journey!
