Abstract

Whether the engineering department of universities employs ideal usage of e-learning or not needs to be investigated as many engineering departments diversify the use of the e-learning elements for educational purpose. Applying the teaching and learning methods and characteristics would lead to better strategies which are applied to development of contents and deployment of the e-learning courses. This study examines the characteristics and approaches of the usage of e-learning elements used by some instructors who use multimedia contents in offline teaching and learning environment. The results of this study shows that the e-learning elements assist the face-to-face course and the interactions are manifested in the classroom rather than in online setting. Lecture, hands-on-practice, simulation, and PBL(Problem-based learning) are turned out to be the major teaching and learning methods. This study signifies the need for use of various teaching and learning methods by the instructors and provision of PBL environment.

이러닝뿐만 아니라 모든 테크놀로지 활용은 교육목표의 달성을 위해 효과적으로 사용하는 방법을 파악하여야 하는데 이때에 중요한 것은 기술적 접근보다 교수학습적 접근이다. 공과대학에서 이러닝이 더욱 확대, 보급되는 현 시점에서 공대 이러닝의 활용 유형을 파악하고 교수학습 방법과 연관된 발전 방향을 제시하여야 한다. 본 연구는 공대 이러닝 콘텐츠와 운영의 유형을 조사하고 이를 교수학습 방법의 활용과 연계하여 이러닝 교수학습 전략을 도출한다. 이를 위해 공대에서 멀티미디어 콘텐츠를 활용하는 네 과목을 대상으로 활용 유형과 교수학습 방법과 관련된 특성을 조사하였다. 연구결과에 의하면 콘텐츠는 학습전에 개발되는 정형적 콘텐츠이며 운영은 학생 개인의 자율학습에 사용하는 콘텐츠 활용형으로 나타났다. 강의와 실습 외에 프로젝트가 학습활동의 하나로 사용되었지만 LMS와 웹 환경 등은 단순 기능의 활용에 국한되었다. 결론에서는 면대면 수업을 보강하는 주요한 방법으로 통합 활용형의 사용을 제안하면서 문제해결 유형 위주의 이러닝 활성화를 위한 조건 및 지원방안을 제시하였다.
