The study examines the affective attitudes and cognitive perceptions toward computer‐mediated oral history of students between 11 and 16 years old. The project was established as an independent study project, whereby students collaborated to compile historical information through pre‐planned interviews with elders, and then built websites related to an historical topic. The study contributes to an understanding of oral history as a vehicle for authentic historical inquiry and provides a basis for empirical studies of Taiwanese students performing real history tasks with web‐based technology. The insights gained in this small study should help teachers design better oral history projects in terms of management, assessment and curriculum design.
