<p class="2">In recent years, a number of models concerning problem solving systems have been put forward. However, many of them stress on technology and neglect the research of problem solving itself, especially the learning mechanism related to problem solving. In this paper, we analyze the learning mechanism of problem solving, and propose that when designing Web-based problem solving systems, more attention should be paid to the learning mechanism involved in the problem solving process than to the technology itself. On the basis of that, some new ideas on the design of the problem solving systems are put forward in order to promote the rapid development of the Web-based problem solving systems.</p>

To cope with the increasing trend of learning demand and limited resources, most universities are taking advantage of Web-based technology for their distance education or e-learning (Montelpare & Williams, 2000). One of the reasons is due to the significant price drop of personal computers in recent decades; the Internet and multimedia have penetrated into most households. Moreover, most students prefer to learn from an interactive environment through a self-paced style. Under the Web-based learning model, students can learn anytime, anywhere because they are not required to go to school on schedule (Appelt, 1997). Meanwhile, universities also enjoy the economic benefit due to the large student base that can share the development cost of course materials and other operational expenses. Gradually, more and more universities follow this similar way to provide online education.

With the rapid development of Internet. Web-based Learning became more convenient and rapid, People-centered Web-based Learning become possible now. Electronic Portfolio is such kind of a platform that to adapt the Web-based Learning for users to share, exchange, collaborative learning and assessment. The paper started from the concept and feature of Electronic Portfolio, and introduced some commonly used alternative platform for Electronic Portfolio. Compared and analyzed it from the angle of functions, features, support technology, users, storage and assessment.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of user’s learning style (including accommodators, divergers, convergers, and assimilators) on user’s satisfaction on the web-based learning system and their learning effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach This experimental research used the college students from a technology institute in Taiwan as the subject sources. By using the Kolb’s learning style model, the students are classified as four types of learners: convergers, divergers, assimilators, and accommodators. The authors analyzed the relationships among the different learning styles with their effectiveness of learning and satisfaction of using the web-based learning system. The mediation effect of gender is also presented. Findings This research indicates that: first, the satisfaction of the web-based learning system has significant influence on the learning performance of learners; second, different learning styles learners have no significant effect to the satisfaction on using the web-based learning system; third, learning effectiveness has significant difference among different learning style learners on the web-based learning system; the learning effectiveness of accommodators and divergers was significantly higher than the assimilators; fourth, different learning styles learners show significant difference in gender proportion. In addition to accommodators, whose proportion of women is higher than men, the other three learning styles’ proportions in men are higher than women. Research limitations/implications This study was grounded in the Kolb’s learning style theory. The authors provide implications for academic studies in e-learning research stream that aimed at understanding the role of learning style as well as gender differences in the asynchronous web-based learning system. Practical implications Results from this study provided the implications for students, educators, and e-learning system designers. The design of teaching materials as well as functions of e-learning systems should take learners’ learning style into consideration to ensure the best learning outcome. Originality/value This study examined the students’ learning style as well as gender differences in the asynchronous web-based learning system. An experiment was conducted to ensure the data were collected in a controlled environment, thus, offer the value that most of the prior study lacks.

The objective of this research is: 1) to develop a web-based learning system using project-based learning of imagineering to enhance the creative construction of multimedia skills and cooperative learning skills; and 2) to evaluate the quality and efficiency of the web-based learning system using project-based learning of imagineering to enhance the creative construction of multimedia skills and cooperative learning skills. In order to develop the system, the researchers studied concepts and theories of project-based learning and learning activities that fit learners in the 21st century, and which are used to enhance creative construction of multimedia skills and cooperative learning skills. The samples were 5 experts selected from a renowned educational institute with expertise in computer, information and communication technology for education, and educational technology. The web-based learning system was developed in line with the concepts of the ADDIE model of learning and systems development. The results showed that 1) the development of web-based learning can be divided into two sections: (1.1) a student system that displays learning content and a student management system, including a webboard, (1.2) a lecturer system, which is an administrative and learning management made for the students. 2) Evaluation of the quality and efficiency of the developed web-based learning system showed that (2.1) the quality of both learning content and the learning design of the developed web-based learning system was rated at a high level, and (2.2) the overall efficiency of the developed web-based learning system was rated at the highest level.

This study aims to present web-based algorithm and programming materials in order to increase interest and motivation in studying in the informatics engineering study program, this learning system is made so that all who want to learn algorithms and programming easily get solutions from the material and videos that are available on the web page. And the existence of this web-based learning information system can provide material archive storage and exercises so that there is no more loss of material or exercise files. This application is created using the PHP and MySQL programming languages.

The Web has increasingly become an important avenue of the learning community; nonetheless, it is wanting in terms of effective interaction among learners. This paper posits that a well-designed user interface will capably address limitations of Web-based learning, and enhance teaminteractions and learning outcomes. It reports on an experiment that investigated the effect of interfaceelements on a set of interaction processes, attitudes, andlearning outcomes. Availability of interface elements to engage and evaluate learning was found to promote participation, trust, and cooperation among learners. How these process variables impacted outcome variables, as intervened by attitudinal factors, was analyzed using structural modeling. Our analysis provided support to atheoretical model that causally links four sets of variables: input (interface elements), processes, attitudes, andlearning outcomes. The paper expounds on the implications of the findings, which have significant importance with respect to the emerging issues in Web-based learning.
