Research On Web-Based Self-Learning

Abstract

E-learning has now become a very important education mode, and various E-learning systems and prototypes have been developed. In knowledge society, updates of knowledge is accelerating, continuing education and lifelong learning has accordingly emerged. As a solution to these new education forms, we proposed a novel E-learning mode, i.e. web-based self-learning, In this paper, we first analyzed the differences among self-learning and other E-learning modes(such as CSCL etc). Then, we give more detailed discusses about a self-learning environment, such as characteristics of learners, learning contents, learning objectives and learning theories, and made further researches on the organization and management of learning resources. At last, we described briefly our self-learning system prototype GSL.
