As the use of Internet becomes popular along with the rapid progress of digitalization, educators increasingly pay attention to online education as a method to complement the current educational system. Especially the Online Learning Community(OLC) has been successfully utilized for teacher education in many advanced countries including the U.S.A.. Considering such trend, this research analyzed representative cases which used the OLC for teacher education in the U.S.A. and explored major factors for successful construction and management of the OLC. Among various cases, five OLCs operated by universities and research institutes were selected, and special aspects of these OLCs were compared and analyzed. On the basis of the five case studies, this research suggested ten factors to be implemented for the successful construction and management of the OLC for teacher education.

Considering the continuous increase of teenagers' Internet use and the high rate of their participation in online communities, educators need to devote efforts to minimize the negative function of teenagers' Internet use and to guide them to experience positive aspects of Internet. Through activities in online communities, teenagers can experience various socialities and explore their self-consciousness. However, on the other hand many communities do not provide teenagers with considerate care. This may cause conflict in their sense of value and mislead them. Through this study, online learning community is designed and developed, which can reflect teenagers' various needs and connect their needs with learning experiences. The community consists of the following categories: 'about e-Tivity'(community vision, general information, list of activities, Q&A), 'activity space for teens'(event hall, data park, e-Tivity center), 'administrative space for teachers and managers'(research room, management room), and 'teen's private space'(my room, my avatar).

In this study, we have developed an online learning community site using Humhub social network software and promote social constructive learning through the questions and answers in subject specific learning groups. By accumulating learning contents which consist of questions and answers about specific topics, learners can acquire knowledge by searching relevant topics and questions and can create and reconstruct knowledge as well as consuming knowledge by participating in self-regulated learning community. We have developed a mathematical editor feature which enables users to enter mathematical expression such as equations and greek characters. Online learning community sites can be used for inquiry based information education.

온라인 커뮤니티는 사용자들의 상호작용을 기반으로 생성된 컨텐츠(member-generated content)를 그 핵심가치로 제시하고 있으며, 이용자들은 소통의 장으로써 온라인 커뮤니티 내에서 정보획득, 교육자료 공유 등 다양한 혜택을 누릴 수 있다. 최근 2년 페이스북과 카카오스토리, 밴드 등과 같은 대표적인 소셜 네트워크 서비스(SNS) 이용자 수가 감소한 반면, 온라인 커뮤니티만 상승세를 보이고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 여자고등학생들을 대상으로 고등학생들의 온라인커뮤니티 이용 실태와 이용하는 의도를 살펴보고자 한다. 연구를 위해 정보품질, 커뮤니티 정보의 신뢰성, 학습 혜택, 사회적 혜택, 자아존중감 혜택, 쾌락적 혜택, 경제적 혜택, 신뢰, 몰입 그리고 지속사용의도와 관련된 설문을 실시하였다.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of On-Line Community Assisted Team Learning (OCATL) activities on academic achievement and team member's Shared Mental Model(SMM) subscale scores. Two studies were conducted over two semesters in different universities. The first study was aimed at examining the effects of OCATL on university students' academic achievement using pre- and post- experimental design. For this experiment, 133 university students composed of 80 male and 53 female students from 13 colleges participated. The OCATL activities included the orientation of OCATL, seminar on collaborative learning, on-line community assisted team learning with sixteen hour participation during one semester and a final report (or a term paper). To measure these students' academic achievement, their pre- and post-semester's GPA were compared. The results of paired t-test revealed a significant difference in academic achievement (p<.05). The second study was designed to compare the scores of SMM subscales of the experimental group with the OCATL activities and those of the control group without using OCATL activities. The data was collected using the scale of Shared Mental Model(SMM)-short version developed by Johnson in 2011[18]. For this study, 74 participants from 10 teams served as an experimental group and 15 teams which were not exposed to OCATL activities served as a control group. The MANOVA results showed that SMM subscores of two groups measured after the experiment were statistically significantly different: The experimental group with the OCATL activities showed high scores on general task and team knowledge, general task and communication skills, attitudes toward team and task, team dynamics and interactions, team resources and working environment, and satisfaction with the team.

The previously developed practical inquiry activity supporting tools, deduced from the design principles and implementation principles based on the study of precedent researches and theories, applicable to conceptual learning in engineering education were implemented to an on-line learning community, a web-based Windows application, to find out its effectiveness in actual classroom situation through experimental research. The On-line learning community includes the inquiry activity menu to implement learning procedure of inquiry based conceptual learning, the functions supporting the communication among participants, the information sharing function, the scheduling function of class and inquiry activity, the mentoring function, and the evaluation of on-line activities of learners. Experimental study were also conducted in order to analyze the effects of inquiry activity supporting tools on inquiry based conceptual learning in engineering education.

With the advance of information technology, e-learning is widely used. However, due to the lack of human computer interaction, e-mentoring or blended learning are adopted to complement the drawbacks of e-learning these days. One of the common purposes for adopting these tools is to enhance the interaction level by using bbs or blogs based on e-communities. If the cooperative learning contents management tools that share learners' knowledge in e-learning are provided, interactivity and educational effects can be enhanced. In this paper, a tree-based learning contents construction tool and a community-based cooperative learning contents construction tools that can share the learners' knowledge are proposed. Also, we analyze the influencing factors to the learners by using the proposed tools.

An online community is a virtual group whose members share their interests and hobbies anonymously with nicknames unlike Social Network Services. However, there are malicious user problems such as users who write offensive contents and there may exist data fragmentation problems in which the data of the same user exists in different nicknames. In addition, nicknames are frequently changed in the online community, so it is difficult to identify them. Therefore, in this paper, to remedy these problems we propose a behavior pattern feature vectors for users considering online community characteristics, propose a new implicit behavior pattern called relationship pattern, and identify the nickname of the same user based on Random Forest classifier. Also, Experimental results with the collected real world online community data demonstrate that the proposed behavior pattern and classifier can identify the same users at a meaningful level.
