資訊科技的蓬勃發展與電腦網路的普及,帶動了數位式學習(E-Learning)的風潮,教室不再是唯一的學習環境,透過智慧型手機、平板電腦等行動平台,隨時隨地都能進行學習活動,也使數位式學習成為既方便又快速的學習工具。即便如此,數位式學習仍存在著一些缺點,雖然許多教學資源都可經由網路獲取,但因為無系統地散佈在網路資源中,導致這些教學資源未能被妥善地運用,經常讓使用者陷入迷途,找不到欲學習的知識內容。 因此,本論文將建構一自主學習之機制,協助使用者找出符合自己能力與目標的教學資源,並依照適當的學習路徑循序推進,達到自主學習之目標。本研究將以適應性學習之概念為基礎,根據使用者之條件與學習需求配合知識地圖的輔助,有系統地搜尋網路資源並加以組織、分層,讓使用者可逐步學習並累積知識,完成自主學習之目的。而本研究的教學資源以中英文環境為主,但未將測驗與學習成效之評分標準列入考慮範圍,僅探討知識之搜尋與分層的合理性。
E-Learning is getting popular as the electronic tools become more advanced. As a result, schools and classrooms may not be the only place to get formal education, since pieces of knowledge can be easily acquired, from internet via cellphone, tablet PC, or such mobile devices, ubiquitously. Although knowledge documentations are available in all net places, the quality, the authenticity, the difficulty level, and organization of the documentation materials are not explicitly defined, making formal education not readily accessible. In this research, a self-learning mechanism is created to make use of the web resources, and to fit user’s ability and learning targets. The method use the concept of adaptive learning to construct a knowledge map by successively searching web resources using keywords from the learning target and related articles. The materials searched are then assigned to the levels on the map, and are determined with an index of importance and an index of difficulty to guide users for studying. In the implementation, only keywords in English and traditional Chinese are used for simplicity, and quizzes and exams are not adopted for learning evaluation because the research objective is on the mechanism feasibility not on rank promotion.
