This study aimed to develop an educational program for improving the learning competencies of major courses for Chinese graduate students who account for more than 70% of international students in Korea. In this study, the program was developed using Caffarella and Daffron's interactive model. Due to the internationalization of education, the number of foreigners who study in Korea for degree courses has already exceeded 100,000, but the dropout rate has increased due to the maladjustment to university life. More specifically, they face difficulties in academic achievement because of a lack of understanding lecture contents, conducting research, and presenting in class. Therefore, this study surveyed the Chinese students in the graduate course to identify the difficulties and needs in their study of major courses and to reflect those needs (major knowledge, communication, assignment writing, and presentation) in program development. This study focused on developing an educational program for improving their learning competencies of major courses rather than simply improving Korean language skills or adapting to university life. The results of the study are expected to help Chinese Graduate students perform well in their major course studies and make their study abroad successful.

The major concern of e-learning environment design is to create and improve artifacts that support human learning. To facilitate effective and efficient learning, e-learning environment designers focused on the contemporary information technologies. Web 2.0 services, which empower users and allow the inter-transforming interactions between users and information technologies, have been increasingly changing the way that people learn. By adapting these Web 2.0 technologies in learning environment, educational technology can facilitate learners' abilities to personalize learning environment. The main purpose of this study is to conceptualize comprehensively constructs for understanding the inter-transforming relationships between learner and learning environment and mutable learning environments' impact on the process through which learners learn and strive to shape their learning environment. As results, this study confirms conceptualization of four constructs by incorporating aspects of design that occur in e-learning environments with Web 2.0 technologies. First, learner-designer refers to active and intentional designer who is tailoring an e-learning environment in the changing context of use. Second, learner's secondary design refers to learner's design based on the primary designs by design experts. Third, transactional interaction refers to learner's inter-changeable, inter-transformative, co-evolutionary interaction with technological environment. Fourth, trans-active learning environment refers to mutable learning environment enacted by users.

Forecasting of electricity demand have difficulty in adapting to abrupt weather changes along with a radical shift in major regional and global climates. This has lead to increasing attention to research on the immediate and accurate forecasting model. Technically, this implies that a model requires only a few input variables all of which are easily obtainable, and its predictive performance is comparable with other competing models. To meet the ends, this paper presents an energy demand forecasting model that uses the variable selection or extraction methods of data mining to select only relevant input variables, and employs support vector regression method for accurate prediction. Also, it proposes a novel performance measure for time-series prediction, shift index, followed by description on preprocessing procedure. A comparative evaluation of the proposed method with other representative data mining models such as an auto-regression model, an artificial neural network model, an ordinary support vector regression model was carried out for obtaining the forecast of monthly electricity demand from 2000 to 2008 based on data provided by Korea Energy Economics Institute. Among the models tested, the proposed method was shown promising results than others.
