Theme
It is recognized that
the traditional classroom approach to learning cannot cope with all the
needs of the individual students and the increasing demand for life-long
learning. The popularity of the World Wide Web and its development has
enabled the creation and implementation of Web-based learning. This is of
particular importance to shift from a teacher-centered learning environment
to student-centered. The evolving new generation of education environment
leads to a revolution in traditional teaching methods.
With the rapid
development of Web-based learning and new concepts like virtual classrooms,
virtual laboratories and virtual universities, many issues need to be
addressed. On the technical side, there is a need for the effective
technology for deployment of Web-based education. On the learning side, the
cyber mode of learning is very different from the classroom-based learning.
How can instructional development cope with this new style of learning? On
the management side, the establishment of the cyber university imposes very
different requirements for the set up. Does industry-university partnership
provide a solution to addressing the technological and management issues?
Why do we need to standardize e-leaning and what can we do by now? As with
many other new developments, more research is needed to establish the
concepts and best practice for Web-based learning.
The rapidly growing
demand for e-learning is forcing educational institutions to expand in remote
learning through the Web in terms of technological and pedagogical
development. The successful application of e-learning provides enhancements
in workforce performance, helps to lower cost, and encourages innovation.
This conference aims at providing an in-depth study of the technical,
pedagogical, as well as management issues of Web-based learning.
Tsinghua University
and The Hong Kong Web Society are organizing this conference in conjunction
Peking University, City University of Hong Kong, IEEE-CS Beijing and China
Ministry of Education to provide the 3rd International Conference on
Web-based Learning to bring together educators, researchers, technologists
and implementers of Web-based learning from around the world to discuss the
state of the art in this area.
