The purpose of this study id to examine the effect of Web site usability on the revisiting intention of customers in Internet book stores. The Web site usability construct consists of the factors such as contents, design, navigation, and interactivity. In order to accomplish the purpose of this study, a research model was established and it suggests that the usabililty effect the revisiting intention of online customers in Internet book stores. The results of the study show that contents, navigation, and interactivity has statistically significant effect on revisiting intention of Internet customers and this effect is mediated by perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. This research confirms the importance of usability construct in designing web sites and understanding the use of web sites. Implications of these findings are discussed for researchers and practitioners.

Currently, many kinds of World Wide Web contents are produced by an individual journalism. Users who simply obtain information by surfing the web becomes the producer, and many contents created by these users reflect on their own interesting topics and social issues. Among these issues, the environmental contents are considered in this study, which we proposed as EcoMap, a media service platform for such contents. In terms of EcoMap, a way of thinking about our own environment would be affected, and the environmental information will be produced and shared more effectively by the users on the web.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop Web-based multimedia contents for supporting student nurses' clinical practice on critical care, and to evaluate learners' responses. Methods: Based on the steps of Assessment, Design, Development, Implementation, & Evaluation(ADDIE) model, a total of 13 self-directed learning modules including live lectures and real video clips were developed through faculty collaboration of nine nursing colleges in Gwangju and Chonnam province. The finally developed multimedia contents were published on the Web of the learning management system at a local e-learning center. Results: The Web contents were evaluated after self-learning by 81 junior college nursing students who were encouraged to study it at their own pace during their two-week clinical practice at a medical or surgical intensive care unit of a university hospital and two hospitals. The knowledge (t = -27.66, p < .001) and self-evaluated clinical performance level(t = 7.54, p < .001) were significantly increased after learning of the Web contents and clinical practice, and satisfaction level that measured post-test only was 4.0 out of 5 point. Conclusion: The use of Web contents for critical care need to be extended as a complimentary material in a class room lecture or clinical practice of students to increase their self-learning ability and understandings of clinical knowledge and situation.

Today, the proliferation of various mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablet PC, brought changes in the existing TV viewing behavior. People use smart devices as secondary device while watching TV. Researches on a wide range of services linked with second-screen devices around the smart TV in the home network have been actively conducted. While there exist several Web-related technologies for connections between devices, specialized techniques for a second screen service are quite insufficient. There are still some problems related to the display of contents from multiple devices and the efficient transfer of these contents. Considering the characteristics of broadcasting systems In this study, we focus on a second screen service that permits a dynamic transfer of contents by connecting a television (TV) with mobile devices. Here, we propose a second screen service model to enable the personalization of TV contents by combining the existing broadcasting and Web-related techniques.

The purpose of this study is to implement evaluation on domestic cyber University web site to analyze web usability and web accessibility in order to present how much cyber University provides various personalized services and qualitative contents to users on web site. And also with this result, I hope to contribute in qualitative development of web site and reliability of remote education. For this purpose, I developed checklist suitable to remote University by applying SM-ABCDE assessment method of Moonhyeongnam, the professor in Sookmyung Women's University, and implemented evaluation on web sites of 17 cyber University over the five aspects of attraction, business, contents, design, and engineering. As the result of this study, it was found that Busan Digital University was best in the respect of attraction, both Kyunghee Cyber University and Cyber University of foreign studies were best in the respect of business, Kyunghee University was best in the respect of contents, and Hanyang Cyber University was best in the respect of design. It was also evaluated in the comprehensive view and the order was found that Kyunghee Cyber University, Busan Cyber University, and Hanyang Cyber University. However in the respect of engineering, it came out that all the sites did not observe the regulation on web accessibility. If domestic Cyber Universities are to observe the regulation on web accessibility with the long term view, on the base of this study, web usability would be increasing. Then they can secure various classes of customers as well as ordinary people so that they will be able to take the real place of educational institution orienting the most advanced educational method in the society of knowledge and information in addition to advance in themselves.

This study examines open market websites of Korea and China and identifies differences in the web design factors so as to verify how the design factors affect consumers' trust and purchase intention in the open market websites. Two hundred consumers, respectively in Korea and China, filled out survey questionnaires. According to the survey result, design factors of open market websites of both countries consisted of context, contents, communities, communication, connectivity and commercial transaction; and trust-building factors were comprised of customer services, product perception and security perception. This study found that there was no significant difference in the design factors of open market websites between the two countries, but trust levels in accordance with design factors and purchase intention in accordance with trust level differed by country. Therefore, this result would help Korean companies targeting Chinese consumers understand that there are differences between Korean and Chinese consumers in their trust level and purchase intention in accordance with open market website designs; encourage Korean online shopping malls to move to the Chinese market; and provide rich insights into developing marketing plans based on the different web design factors of Korean and Chinese open markets.

As the electronic commercial transaction is being transacted by contents which can get an illegal intrusion from the outside, we sincerely require security for them. We must consider a protection countermeasure about intrusion from protection of the passive form to protection intrusion of the active one. So the security is required against hackers illegality intrusion into the contents. As soon as the intrusion happens about the contents, the tools providing the monitor of contents are required to minimize the damage to the systems. Modified web contents detection system in this paper prevents the loss of resources and manpower required through individually monitoring on the web. Also, this paper offers rapid support of security that it analyzes the weakness of contents security of the web environment and the cause of the problem with the leakage of information. So this system has the pur pose of protecting the weakness of contents security and the leakage of information.

Since the 7th educational renovation was established, ICT has emerged as an indispensable tool for teaching a variety of subjects in technical high schools. This paper develops the model for explaining the factors affecting the use of web contents as a mode for studying Electronic subject. Based on data collected from a questionnaire survey from the students who studied the Electronic subject using web contents, a following conclusion is provided: the perceived usefulness, ease of use and the playfulness significantly affect the level of satisfaction, but the design of contents, image, quality, attitude as well as self-efficacy only indirectly affect the satisfaction level. This result might provide the useful guidelines for designing the web-contents for technical high school students.
