Development of Global Learning Community for Supporting International Exchange of Knowledge

大量的学习资源在网络上传播和获取。如果学习者积极地从这些资源中进行选择，各种信息将作为知识储备对教育和学习做出贡献。如果不与互联网上的全球学习资源进行互动，我们就无法继续教学和学习。然而，除非学习者能够通过即时检索来检索适当的资源，否则它们将得不到充分利用和浪费。为此，我们需要开发一个支持全球知识交流的网络学习社区。我们的研发团队进行了一系列的研究，包括现状研究、开发和评估研究、实践研究和实验室实验，以检验网络学习社区的管理现状和最佳状况，学习资源的标准化和质量保证，学习资源的共享和再利用、市场、支持环境，以实现目标。通过这些合作研究，我们开发了一个网络学习社区的综合模型，通过分享我们的经验知识和技能来支持全球知识交流。我们的研究项目通过讨论、公开论坛、会议演讲和研究论文出现了错误。因此，我们在全球学习资源库、学习对象元数据（LOM）、版权管理、自由开源软件、移动通信工具、大纲自动引出系统及其评估、亚洲地区电子学习实践评估以及易于使用的界面的开发和评估等方面产生了大量的研究成果。

A great deal of learning resources is disseminated and available on the network. A variety of information will contribute to education and learning as a stock of knowledge if learners are actively select from among these resources. We cannot continue teaching and learning without having interaction with global learning resources on the Internet. However, they will be underutilized and wasted unless learners can retrieve appropriate resources through an instant retrieval. For this reason, we need to develop a networked learning community for supporting a Global exchange of knowledge.Our research and development team conducted a series of studies including state of art study, develop and evaluation study, practice study, and laboratory experiments in order to examine the current and optimal situation of managing networked learning communities, standardization and quality assurance of learning resources, sharing and reuse of learning resources, market, supporting environments toward the goal. Through these collaborative studies, we have developed a synthesized model for a networked learning community for supporting Global exchange of knowledge by sharing our experiential knowledge and skills. Our research project has been err borated through discussion, an open forum, conference presentations, and research papers. As a result, we have produced a great deal of research outputs on global repositories of learning resources, learning object metadata (LOM), copyright management, free and open source software, mobile communication tools, automatic elicitation system for syllabi and it's evaluation, assessments of e-learning practices in Asian region, as well as development and evaluation of easy to use interfaces.
