Abstract
In this information explosion era, more and more users are experienced information overload issue. Text summarization technology provides short version of document for user to reduce information overload. In e-learning field, a lengthy learning materials may cause such issue so that learner cannot focus on the main concept of the course. In traditional problem-based learning (PBL) activity, panel discussion is the key process for learners to consolidate their knowledge and provide solutions of the problem. In order to accelerate the discussion process, this study proposes a summarization module for learners to obtain short version of learning materials. In this manner, learners can focus on the main learning concept in their discussion and practice the problem-solving skills.
