The Ministry of Education has announced that the Learning Non-Stop plan will be extended to the summer vacation due to the epidemic. To cultivate the self-management habit and to become an autonomous learner, achieving the lifelong learning goal in the future, the MDHS has established the MDSRL, the self-management project, which includes 3 parts:

1. Project A: MDSRL collaborative platform- Teaching is the best way of learning!

This platform aims to demonstrate the spirit of collaborative learning, encouraging students from junior and senior high to upload the questions they encounter in the subjects, which will be tackled and guided by the MDSRL team members. Students are welcome to become one of the teammates and learn from each other. More functions will be added in the future, such as note sharing and outcomes of SIG, allowing more students to share and exchange experiences with others.

2. Project B: Smart Reading (SR) Chinese Adaptive Reading Platform- Self-management + Reading= Skills for lifelong learning

MDHS has introduced the Smart Reading (SR) Chinese Adaptive Reading Platform, developed by the National Taiwan Normal University. Constantly cultivating the autonomous reading habit can not only enhance reading comprehension but also receive a reading certificate from the K-12 Education Administration. This certificate is crucial in your learning profile and persuasive when showing your various learning outcomes.

The target for this project is students in junior 3, who will make good use of the summer vacation to implement the autonomous reading plan. By the new 110 academic years, this project will be promoted school-wide, allowing self-management and reading to become lifelong learning skills for the MDHS students.
