摘要
Web-based training gained popularity due to pervasive hypertext information systems, as well as its flexibility of time and place. However, the lack of orientation and interactions leads to higher dropout rates in those self-directed learning environments. From the perspectives of learners, formative assessment generates criticism and suggestions that guide them toward ultimate learning goals, which improves their sustaining rates in self-directed learning environments. This research work aims to investigate how a Web-based learning platform can blend external formative assessment services to foster learning activities as well as facilitate interactions between learners and mentors. Besides proposing a conceptual model, a proof-of-concept prototype has been developed, in which both fully-automatic and human-involved formative assessment works could be blended into a self-paced, Web-mediated learning process. An experiment indicated that the prototyped e-learning context did help to sustain learners. The result of this research implies that, with abundant pedagogical Web services in an open framework, high priced e-learning resources could be easily shared and flexibly orchestrated to fulfill various educational goals.
