| Summary: | 碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 電子工程學系 === 92 === Due to the fact that the technologies of Internet have been greatly improved in recent years, more and more people have started to consider “learning via the Internet” or “E-learning” as one of the major approaches to knowledge. Learners can learn via the Internet which frees them from limitations of space and time. Meanwhile, as E-learning enables a higher degree of individuality--i.e. learners can learn according to their individual needs--it differs greatly from traditional pedagogy where the one-size-fits-all teaching objectives and schedules are always implemented. Most of the traditional distance learning systems are known to be “static.” In a “static system,” learning content and procedures are always pre-planned and very few modifications can be made. Therefore, systems of this kind still fail to successfully meet the needs of individual learners.
However, due to different learning abilities of individual learners, it is extremely difficult in practice for teachers to prepare different kinds of teaching materials and procedures in any traditional teaching systems. The primary reasons for that are: Firstly, it is not easy for a teacher to foreknow each learner’s learning abilities and accordingly prepare the most appropriate teaching materials. Secondly, even if teaching materials are designed by individual students’ abilities, a wide variety of learning characteristics and needs will potentially result in oversized content and complicated teaching procedures. To solve this problem, we have established a dynamically adaptive E-learning system. In addition to fulfilling every standard of the “Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM),” this system also guarantees the quality of learning by providing adaptable content to suit the needs of individual learners with different learning abilities. This system is displayed in two facets: One is the prediction and analysis of individual learning abilities and the other is the adaptability of teaching materials.
