E-learning in Korea supports different educational needs of diverse learners. E-learning became one of the major source of educational services for schools, higher education, lifelong learning, and for special education. Many e-learning contents offered by cyber universities use HTML, CSS, and Flash, and these are known to have limitations on accessibilities. People with disabilities or aged have problems accessing such contents. The purpose of this study is to evaluate accessibility of Flash e-learning contents offered by 9 cyber universities. AccChecker is used to assess accessibility of the contents. The result shows many errors and warning with Text Equivalents, Keyboard Navigation, Properties, Depth of Tree, and Structures that restrict access. In order to improve the quality and expansion of quality e-learning contents, we need aggressive measures to obtain accessibility of contents, and these should be designed at the planning phase rather than adjusted during the development stage. Furthermore, it is vital to train instructional designers, developers and the CEOs to realize the importance of accessibility and learn appropriate skills to increase accessibilities of e-learning contents.

Recently, Korean government has, enacted "Individuals with Disabilities anti-Discriminatory Act" in 2008, and is actively promoting the law. However, it is still at its infancy in comparison to other advanced countries in terms providing access for all users. Educational digital contents offered through cyber home learning need to be universally designed to include all learners. This study, I have analyzed the accessibility of K cyber home learning contents using FAE tool, and the result showed low scores or failed for 'HTML Standards', 'Scripting' and the 'Text Equivalents.' To assist digital contents' accessibility, UDL 7 principles could be use to improve accessibility and universality for learner-centered designs. Use of UDL will include learners with and without disabilities to learn from educational digital contents.

The purpose of this study is to develop a test and verifying the validity and reliability for measuring a effectiveness of e-earning course in cyber university. Twenty-five items were developed based on literature review and were examined by experts in the field. For item analysis, EFA(Exploratory Factor Analysis) was performed with 768 students in first study. In order to validate the test, CFA(Confirmatory Factor Analysis) was conducted with 791 students in second study. The result of the study yielded five factors with 25 items: 1) contents and design, 2) instructor, 3) system, 4) evaluation, and 5) overall course satisfaction. And this research reports the reliability and validity of new test.

The Cyber Home Learning System(CHLS) is a representative, nationwide e-learning system specially for G1-12 in Korea. It was launched at 16 MPOE in 2005 and has been evolved through every year-its evaluation and sharing best practices. In terms of evaluation, learners' satisfaction is one of essential and indispensable factors to improve CHLS. In this research, evaluation criteria on learners's satisfaction were developed, and also, the developed evaluation criteria were verified through the process of item goodness analysis and item characteristic analysis. These evaluation criteria are expected to contribute to analysing learners' satisfaction more objectively and quantitatively.

In this study, We are developed learner traits analysis and profile management software modules to develop learnable courseware fits to learner's individual traits in cyber learning system. We specified learner's personal information, performance information, preference information and portfolio information as learner's traits variables in this study, these four types of information are managed in learner profile management DB based on elaborate analysis to learner's traits. And we consists of curriculum sequencing module using high and low level sequencing technology, these are used in organizing learning contents sequencing with learning topic and specific learning task. The advice algorithm module developed based on adaptive navigational support and rule based technology. This Result of Research are able to be used for develop learnable courseware fits to learner's individual traits in cyber learning systems.

In this paper, we developed an online lecture for digital logic circuit which is a basic course in electric/electronic education. Because of importance of the laboratory experiences in this course and to reflect industrial requests, we have selected most effective experimental examples in each chapter and inserted instructions for basic usags of ORCAD and digial clock design. Moreover, we developed cyber lab to design students' own circuit using Flash animation. Two features of this cyber lab are real-like graphics for devices and breadboards to improve reality and patented new IC chip objects for easy experiments, which help the students understand digital logic easily.

Recently, cyber evaluation systems on the Web-based remote education do not consider the personalized characteristic and propensity of individual students. Especially, in setting of the questions far examination, the traditional simple and general methods for all students group have been used for evaluation. This paper proposes on efficient cyber evaluation system using user profile. First, questions are filtered by using user profile for the personalized characteristic and propensity of individual students, This personalized characteristic and propensity have been disregarded in traditional evaluation systems. And then, filtered questions are set for examination, Therefore, efficiency of the evaluation system is enhanced and students make good results from their study. When user profile is adapted, the setting method of question for examination have combined category-based method with keyword-based method. This make students get the interest and pleasure for questions.

The cyber classes of an e-Learning system have been considered as one of the important form of education. However, there is no or little study of effectiveness and function for the students' position. In this study, I analyzed log files in the e-learning system, and classified login and teaming hour patterns of students, who were enrolled in the undergraduate courses of the university, into hourly pattern in a daily pattern in a week, weekly pattern in a semester. I proposed general ideas to improve effectiveness and function of current e-learning. Over 50% of logins were for less than 30minutes learning and there is wasteful use of e-learning system resources.

As society has changed to being more knowledge-based, it is indispensable that Internet usage is incorporated into education. Therefore, the e-learning system is being developed in order to provide a proper environment. However, many LCMS that were developed, currently are not based on SCORM, the world e-learning standard, nor KEM, the Korea Educational Metadata of Korea Education & Research Information Service(KERIS), and hence, it is difficult to share learning contents developed from such varied environments. National Science Museum, a non-educational institution, also provides the educational science exhibits in reality or in cyber space, which cannot be produced by elementary schools, and secondary schools. Consequently, new systems are necessary, whose modules should be divided into four, for example, 'teachers', 'learners', 'managers', and 'instructors', and be associated with each other so that they are able to integrate and manage such systems, and be used in school education as well. Therefore, in this study, more advanced LMS and LCMS, which are the web-portal sites used for a cyber science class at the National Science Museum, were designed and established. These sites were surely based on the KEM, and the SCORM.

The purpose of this study is to develop a general model for web-based children's literature education and to validate the model. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used for the analysis of this study. The findings of this research were three point. At First, the model of web-based children's literature education have five major components i.e., objects, construction of activity, display of activity, management of it, and evaluation of it. At second, the creative writing was revealed the core of the web-based children's education. The third, web-based children's literature activity can be followed by cyber learning community activities.
