Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊學院碩士在職專班數位圖書資訊組 === 94 === The development of e-Learning has brought about a new way of thinking in the e generation, and many schools of various levels have sought to include the internet as a tool to integrate information in education in the hopes of tapping the vast potential of education and learning through the power of information technology. However, the common issue of shortages of funding, manpower, technical support and administration support has persisted in schools below the tertiary level in Taiwan, making the popular development of e-Leaning seems more like a slogan than a practical goal.
The goal of this thesis is to examine the user behavior exhibited by teachers and students to discover the extended needs in teaching and learning and attempt to offer a solution model applicable to elementary schools, secondary schools, high schools and vocational schools. This research is carried out in the hopes of contributing in the following aspects: 1. to understand the opinions from teachers and students on their needs to draw up the design guidelines for the on-line Teaching Resources Centre; 2. to provide a basic model of an open system that is free to solve the common problem of shortages on funding, manpower, technical support and management faced by ordinary schools; 3. to develop the school-based characteristics of every school to integrate digital contents and actual teaching in order to gain more support from the administration; 4. to lead for teachers and students to develop digital contents based on a resource sharing structure for assisting each school in developing their unique school-based courses; 5. to draft an easy-to-use, easy-to-learn and easy-to-manage system interface based on the concept of a content management system; 6. to create a “school-based Teaching Resources Centre” that can be shared by teachers and students based on the five aspects of ”Teaching”, “Learning”, “Resources”, “The need for information” and “Network management”; and 7. to integrate the four major resources of manpower, knowledge, administration and the internet to create a new force in assisting the tasks of teaching and learning.
The school based Teaching Resources Centre differs from ordinary school websites, large-scale teaching resources integration projects and Learning Content Management Systems by offering an integrated system which combines recording of teaching activities, life at the school and learning resources from the starting point of teaching activities. The system would take all teaching subjects and fields of learning into account and assist schools in setting up a network learning environment quickly while demanding the least cost of development and management.
The ultimate goal of the thesis is to provide a reference model for schools with the intention of establishing school-based Teaching Resources Centres through the findings of this thesis to realize the vision of spreading the fruits of teaching resources integration to every corner in every school so that teachers and students may be able to enjoy the convenience of these resources.
