| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 圖書資訊與檔案學研究所 === 100 === Modern digital libraries not only digitalize resources, they are also required to provide an environment which integrates collection provision, information services, and academic activities, in addition to their functions of preserving knowledge and effectively supporting learning. This study investigated whether the design of the information structure of a digital library influences learning performance when learners use the digital library to supplement digital learning, and whether learners of different learning styles have different experiences and learning efficiency through the course of using different information architectures.
The present study chose the Digital Museum of Nature and Culture established by the National Museum of Natural Science, Morae (a usability testing software), and the Index of Learning Style (ILS) as its research tools. This study used the Digital Museum of Nature and Culture to supplement digital learning tasks, thereby investigating whether the design of the information architecture of a digital library influenced digital learning efficiency.
The present study suggested that the supplementation of digital learning with a digital library resulted in excellent learning efficiency. Regarding the influence of information architecture on learning efficiency, it was found that the organizational system was crucial to learning efficiency. Furthermore, learners with different learning efficiency displayed different behavior when using the information architecture of the digital library. It was found that the learning efficiency of global learners was better than that of sequential learners. Global learners and those learners with superior learning efficiency relied more heavily on the organizational system, while sequential learners and those learners with inferior learning efficiency relied more heavily on the search system.
