Description
Summary:碩士 === 中原大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 95 === The users of the e-learning environment often encounter some difficulties, for examples, can not share the learning materials and reuse these between the learning management systems, lacking of the guiding in the learning processes, can not satisfy with the learners for personalized learning requirements and etc. Although the development of SCORM2004 has initially solved these problems, the option of individual learning resources of SCORM2004 is still insufficient in the learning path management due to the learning object lacks the ability to express the semantic concepts and highly depends on solid supports from the platform. In order to meet the requirement of different teaching demands and share the cross-platform network resources, it is required to improve the identification of the learning object on the concept level, the individual study efficiency and the flexibility of individual learning paths management. This study proposed a personal learning paths management framework based on the domain concepts and the cognitive sequences of the experts. The purpose of this study is divided into 4 parts: 1.Providing the guide for the learning processes and the teaching materials via building the learning paths ontology with the combination of the expert’s concepts. 2. Using the ontology to manage the learning resources and build the inferential rules to manage the learning paths and the internal resources. 3.Using the ontology to record the learning status of the learner and infer the learning paths to meet the learning requirements of the learner. 4.Using the property of the instance of the ontology to build the counterparty with the real resources to achieve the objective of sharing the learning resources between the distributed e-Learning environment. In this paper, it takes mathematics curriculum guidelines of the 1st grade as a practical case to inspect this framework. It investigate the explicit and the implicit relationships between the learners, the concepts, the courses, the learning objects and the academic competence indicators to evaluate the prototype. The study reveals the personal learning path management framework can achieve the goal to enhance the identification of the learning object on the concept level, to promote personal learning efficiency and enhance the flexibility of learning paths management to accordance with the demand of the different kinds of teaching tactics and share the cross-platform learning resources.
