中心簡介

Introduction of the Center

I. Establishment Objectives

In recent years, NTUST has flourished in research related to e-learning. NTUST has excellent faculty in education, psychology, technology, design, and other related fields, which is very suitable for the development of e-learning research. The establishment of the Center is expected to integrate relevant research talents and make NTUST the leading cradle of digital learning research in Taiwan, especially in recent years, the Center focuses on interactive research on e-learning, including mobile learning and game-based learning, both of which have international impact in terms of research performance and industry-academia collaboration.

II. Core Values

E-learning is one of the most important trends in educational research and practice in the last decade. The Center will focus on the interactivity of the e-learning environment as the main axis of research. Interactivity is an important key to the success of e-learning. In an e-learning environment, interactivity includes a wide range of aspects, including human-computer interaction, peer interaction, and teacher-student interaction. These interactions encompass many learning theories and concepts, such as attention, cognitive processes, problem solving, and social interactions. The Center will attempt to explore the research issues related to the interactivity of e-learning from different theoretical perspectives and at different levels. In the field of empirical evidence on interactivity, the Center features two core axes: mobile learning and gamification/game-based learning. Through academic excellence, industry-academia cooperation, commercialization of educational games, large-scale educational field promotion and counseling, and international cooperation, NTUST is expected to become an international research center for this topic.
