碩士 === 淡江大學 === 資訊與圖書館學系碩士班 === 101 === Through the study of extant literatures, the current research aims to grasp the current status of e-learning courses in post-graduate programs, local and abroad, the use e-learning in the context of Library and Information Science, and factors that affect the planning and effectiveness of e-learning courses. Further, the current research aims to analyze the applicability of e-learning courses within the context of Master’s Program in Library and Information Science. In-depth interview is employed in analyzing the responses of respondents enrolled in the Reader Service Class with regards to course planning, course contents, learning equipment and support, as well as respondents’ learning situations and level of satisfaction. Based on the findings, the current research attempts to provide constructive suggestions, with the goal of assisting the development and refinement of e-learning courses used in local library and information science programs. The findings are as follows: 1. For Students enrolled in Master’s Program in Library and Information Science, course emphasis should be placed on face-to-face lectures and asynchronous e-lectures. For students enrolled in Executive Master’s Program, synchronous e-lectures are better suited for their learning needs. 2. Grading system and scale should be thoroughly discussed. 3. To improve learning effectiveness, course contents and diversity should be considered and carefully planned. To effectively maximize learning efficiency, synchronous e-lectures should have a simplified and highly accessible interface, as well as a stable hardware system with adequate internet bandwidth.
