  • This study intends to understand deeply the higher education evaluation accreditation system in Taiwan. Taiwan established newly the Higher Education Evaluation & Accreditation Council in 2005, an independent organization with the exclusive responsibility to execute evaluation. Three kinds of evaluation have been accomplished, including University Program Evaluation which assesses whole university management, Academic Fields Evaluation and Performance Evaluation which compare the superiority and inferiority among universities. The Accreditation system is applied only to Academic Fields Evaluation. For evaluation, each university presents a self-evaluation report, undergoes an visiting evaluation, makes out an evaluation report and lastly is notified of the result. The evaluation is divided into three results : pass, waiting observation and non-pass. According to an announcement in June 2008, the rate of non-pass universities reached the 15.7%. The non-pass universities are supposed to receive the disadvantaged in the admission number limit and take the following evaluation in the following year. Debates still exists concerning the eliminatory nature of the system and the announcement of achievement rankings through evaluation results. Other problems include the improvement of quality of evaluation committee members and the irrational evaluation standards. These problems will be meaningful for the development of the korean higher evaluation system.

  • Recently, a learning management system incorporating ICT technology into learning has helped students improve self-directed learning skills. Self-directed learning using LMS promotes and stimulates learners' participation in learning, focusing on the advantages of efficient use of learning resources and the spread of communication. In this study, we study the impact of self-directed learning using the learning management system on elementary school students' motivation and academic performance. We expect learners will be able to achieve effective academic achievement by learning problems that fit their level through the algorithms of the proposed learning management system. For this study, a total of 16 classes were conducted for eight weeks using the proposed learning management system for 21 elementary school students. Research has shown significant improvement in the learning orientation and interest areas of the learners who participated in the experiment.
