Development of Global Learning Community for Supporting International Exchange of Knowledge

网络上传播和提供了大量学习资源。如果学习者积极地从这些资源中进行选择，各种各样的信息将作为一种知识储备对教育和学习作出贡献。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，如果学习者不能通过即时检索找到合适的资源，这些资源将被利用不足和浪费。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，我们的研究和开发团队进行了一系列研究，包括最新研究，开发和评估研究，实践研究和实验室实验，以检查管理网络学习社区的现状和最佳情况，学习资源的标准化和质量保证，学习资源、市场、支持环境的共享与再利用。通过这些合作研究，我们开发了一个综合模型，用于网络学习社区，通过分享我们的经验知识和技能来支持全球知识交流。我们的研究项目已经通过讨论，公开论坛，会议演示和研究论文进行了讨论。因此，我们在全球学习资源库、学习对象元数据（LOM）、版权管理、自由和开源软件、移动的通信工具、教学大纲自动启发系统及其评估、亚洲地区电子学习实践评估以及易用界面的开发和评估等方面取得了大量研究成果。

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.
