A lot of learning systems are applying self-directed learning to increase learner's learning effect. But most of this methods are hardly applied to fit the construction of learning contents considering learner's characteristics or it was processing the learning course without learner's choice. In this research, we proposed the recommendation method that can support the learning contents as calculate learner's preference contents based on learning history information when learner design the learning course. In the result, we chose test learner group and was able to know to generally increase average score of each learner after test between existing method and proposal one.

E-learning objects should be appropriately described and classified using standard metadata for facilitating the processes of e-learning resource description, discovery and reuse. These metadata need to be published in a registry to reduce duplication of effort and enhance semantic interoperability. This paper describes how standard ebXML registries can be used for annotating, storing, discovering and retrieving e-learning object metadata. For semantic annotation of e-learning objects, IEEE LOM is adopted as the metadata ontology. In order to support the e-learning metadata ontology in interoperable ebXML registries, a mapping scheme between LOM and ebXML information model is proposed. The usefulness of standard ebXML registries for sharing e-learning metadata is demonstrated by prototyping an e-learning registry called ebRR4LOM based on the scheme.

Although e-Learning contents contain audio materials as well as visual materials, research on the design of audio materials has been focused on visual design. If it is considered that non-speech sounds which are a type of audio materials can promptly provide feedbacks of learners' responses and guide learners' learning process, the systemic design of non-speech sounds is needed. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the learners' perceptions toward non-speech sounds contained the e-Learning contents with multidimensional scaling method. For this purpose, the eleven non-speech sounds were selected among non-speech sounds designed Korea Open Courseware. The 66 juniors in A university responded the degree of similarity among 11 non-speech sounds and the learners' perceptions towards non-speech sounds were represented in the multidimensional space. The result shows that learners perceive separately non-speech sounds by the length of non-speech sounds and the atmosphere which is positive or negative.

In this modern era of technology and information, e-learning approach has become an integral part of teaching and learning using modern technologies. There are different variations or classification of e-learning approaches. One of notable approaches is Personal Learning Environment (PLE). In a PLE system, the contents are presented to the user in a personalized manner (according to the user's needs and wants). The problem arises when a new user enters the system, and due to the lack of information about the new user's needs and wants, the system fails to recommend him/her the personalized e-learning contents accurately. This phenomenon is known as cold-start problem. In order to address this issue, existing researches propose different approaches for recommendation such as preference profile, user ratings and tagging recommendations. In this research paper, the implementation of a novel interaction-based approach is presented. The interaction-based approach improves the recommendation accuracy for the new-user cold-start problem by integrating preferences profile and tagging recommendation and utilizing the interaction among users and system. This research work takes leverage of the interaction of a new user with the PLE system and generates recommendation for the new user, both implicitly and explicitly, thus solving new-user cold-start problem. The result shows the improvement of 31.57% in Precision, 18.29% in Recall and 8.8% in F1-measure.

The increase of social interest for the e-Learning industry leads to the increase of e-learning contents and the system providers which are targeted at private education companies and public institutions. As the e-Learning is used in various areas, the evaluation for evaluation criteria and suitability are needed to provide a high-quality service and reliability. Previous works suggested the evaluation criteria for quality certification, however, the technical evaluation criteria are not provided. In this paper, we suggest the technical evaluation criteria for quality certification of e-Learning contents and describe the detailed features. Through the proposed work, we can establish the technical evaluation criteria and suggest detailed evaluation items for them by providing examples. It is expected that the proposed study is able to be utilized in e-Learning industry, if the policy is reflected and notified according to the feedback of the results of the trial service.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the constraints about using for e-learning in sports class. These class were leisure studies, swimming, soccer, tennis class as a core requirement and address of homepage was http://sunghun.ulsan.ac.kr. The research methods were deep interview, observation, and description of instructor. The results were as follows. First, constraints of students in e-learning were low skill of computer, problem of sharing information, lack of interaction. Second, constraints of instructor in e-learning were confusing of term, lack of recognition, lack of time and skill, considering of co-instructor, and burden of e-learning. Third, structural constraints in e-learning were administrative constraints and technical constraints.

The purpose of this study was conducted in two stages for university students at K and Y universities in Gyeongsangbuk-do to examine the factors affecting their use intention to use YouTube learning contents due to any of the factors of YouTube learning contents characteristics. Based on the results of the first survey, the measurement items were organized and based on this, second survey was conducted on the use intention of YouTube learning content learners. As a result, it was found that content diversity, content simplicity, content quality, interactivity, and ease of use influenced use intention. Among them, content diversity was found to have the most influence on use intention than others. This study is expected to be used as a basic research data necessary to activate e-learning in the current university and to enhance the learning effect by researching YouTube which is a new learning trend of university students.

미국의 ADL(Advance Distributed Learning)에서 제안한 스콤(SCORM; Sharable Content Object Reference Model)은 2000년 미국 국방부에서 발주한 6억달러에 이르는 e-러닝(e-Learning) 구축 입찰 계약에서 가이드라인으로 쓰여졌다. 용역 입찰 제안서에 스콤을 기초로 해 e-러닝 시스템을 구축하겠다는 내용이 명시돼야만 입찰에 참여할 수 있었던 것이다. 현재 제안된 e- 러닝 기술표준안들에 대한 국제인증 여부와 관계없이 e-러닝 실수요자 및 공급자의 움직임에 따라 이러한 추세는 향후 더욱 확대될 전망이다. 이 글에서는 실질적인 국제 표준으로 가장 근접해 있는 스콤의 내용 및 기술적 특징에 대해 설명하고자 한다.

This study explores the impacts of e-learning system characteristics on learner committment and satisfaction by surveying the firms utilizing e-learning systems for learning. In the study, we have, first, drawn the key factors and instruments to measure e-learning system characteristics through intensive literature review. Second, we have investigated whether the characteristics contribute to increasing learner's commitment and satisfaction. Finally, we have examined the mediating effect of learner's commitment between the characteristics of e-learning system and learner satisfaction. We have conducted a survey on the employees having experience in using e-learning systems for learning, and collected a total of 93 responses. The results of a statistical analysis show the following: First, expression and interaction affect the learner's commitment. The results indicate that a learner should engage in e-learning and ultimately be more committed on it when there is a coherence in design and organization of learning contents, and when the system offers various multimedia options including audio, sound, image, graphics, etc. Second, leaner's commitment leads to higher learning satisfaction. Finally, our results show that the commitment plays a mediating role between learner characteristics (expression, control, and trust) and learner satisfaction.
