[[alternative]]A Study on the Effectiveness of Manufacturing E-Learning System

[[abstract]]As the advance of digital technology, e-Learning techniques become widespread and an essential tool for multi-disciplinary education. The user of e-Learning can disregard time and space constraints to study specialized knowledge. The teacher can adjust the contents and progress of the course to fit his needs, and hence to achieve a more effective training. In addition, the teacher can use the well-prepared evaluation methods provided by the e-Learning environment in order to evaluate the effectiveness of learning. Therefore, this study probes into e-Learning evaluation methods of “Manufacturing Engineering” provided on the Internet. The objects of study in this research are university students, which study numerical control machining. The students were divided into two groups: the experiment group, which employed Internet E-learning techniques; and a control group, which used conventional teaching. The data collected was analyzed by SPSS Software, and yielded the following results: 1.The comparison of Internet e-Learning techniques with conventional classroom teaching methods showed that students with vocational background demonstrated better effectiveness than student with high-school background. 2.The comparison of Internet e-Learning techniques with conventional classroom teaching method, showed no evident difference in the Perception of Study or students’ effectiveness between the experiment group and the control group. 3.The comparison of Internet e-Learning techniques with conventional classroom teaching method, showed no evident difference in the interdependency of Perception of Study and students’ effectiveness between the experiment group and the control group. 4.Most learners expressed their satisfaction from the design of Internet e-Learning techniques, and pointed out that the positive interaction featured in this method deepened their interest. The learners added that E-learning techniques could correspond to their required practical knowledge and hence could help them to enhance their professional skills.
