| Research Abstract |
The objective of this study is to establish a recycling- oriented system to evaluate and improve e-learning materials based on the evaluation. The mainstay of this study is the instructional design theory, which gives an outline of the procedure for this study to follow. Therefore, this study includes the following aspects : 1) goal setting based on needs analysis, 2) the analyses of learners and learning contexts, 3) development of a test as a evaluation criterion, 4) formative evaluation, 5) e-learning material development and its implementation, 6) summative evaluation and 7) improvement of the materials. The findings in each process are discussed in detail in the following sections, but one clear point that is reconfirmed is that a specific objective of each performance is indispensable for the improvement of the material. In this study, not only materials but also tests, computerized adaptive tests (CAT) in this case, as evaluation criteria were developed and implemented on the web. The significance of the CAT is also clarified through this implementation.
