Multimedia Health Education E-book Platform
The Multimedia Health Education E-book Platform (the site’s name appears on screen as 「衛教電子書」) presents health education content in both Traditional Chinese and Vietnamese. It supports health literacy and adjustment to local life for international students in Taiwan, most of whom are from Vietnam.
The platform is also the research tool for the master’s thesis 《國際學生對多媒體衛生教育電子書的學習成效與使用意圖：以南部某大學為例》 (translated title: “Learning Effectiveness and Usage Intention of Multimedia Health Education E-books Among International Students: A Case Study of a University in Southern Taiwan”). Participants first read the research information and consent form (shown as 「研究告知同意書」 on screen), and pre-reading and post-reading questionnaires are then used to assess learning effectiveness and willingness to use the platform.

About the content
The learning materials were written with AI assistance and checked against official sources (the platform lists the fact-check date as October 13, 2026). They don’t replace professional medical advice. If you feel unwell or there’s an emergency, call an emergency number or see a doctor right away.
Research participation and privacy
According to the platform’s research information and consent form:
- The study is fully anonymous. It doesn’t collect information that directly identifies you, such as your name, student ID number, or ID document number.
- The system generates an 8-character anonymous code that’s used to match your pre-reading and post-reading questionnaires. Keep it somewhere safe.
- You can leave at any time by closing the window, with no negative consequences.
- The data is used only for that thesis study, is stored on servers in Taiwan, and will be destroyed within 5 years after the thesis defense.
For the full terms and contact information, refer to the research information and consent form on the platform. To learn how to use the platform, see Using the website.
