An e-learning system for improving learner study efficiency by stimulating learner volition

摘要

Due to the opportunities provided by the Internet, more and more people are taking advantage of distance learning courses and during the last few years enormous research efforts have been dedicated to the development of distance learning systems. So far, many e-learning systems are proposed and used practically. However, in these systems the e-learning completion rate is about 30 percents. One of the reasons is the low study desire when the learner studies the learning materials. In this research, we propose an e-learning system, which includes three subsystems: the learning subsystem, learner support subsystem, and teacher support subsystem. The learning subsystem improves the learners study desire. The learner support subsystem supports the learner during the study, and the teacher support subsystem support the teacher to get the learner's study state. In the future work, we would like to add other functions to improve more the system performance.
