Design and Implementation of a Web-Board System for the Adaptive School Web Site Construction

摘要

Due to advances in Web technologies, many schools have now their own Web sites as a center of the communication for diverse groups such as students, their parents, teachers, and others. However, among diverse Web-based communications tools, their bulletin board systems are usually based on the commercially developed boards that do not usually reflect educational environments and adaptive features. The purpose of this research is to develop the Web-board system for the adaptive school Web site construction. Using concept of customization and optimization, our Web-board system is designed to reflect the educational environments as well as the user characteristics. The proposed Web-board system has the following characteristics. First, our system promotes communication among users through their personalized Web pages generated by our proposed algorithm. Second, our system provides Web-boards that reflect necessary Web-board elements in school environments. Third, our system allows easy access to the system through user-friendly interface.
