[[alternative]]A Study of E-learning Fundamental Content for Environmental Education

[[abstract]]In the age of internet, multimedia technologies provide a variety of learning environment for students and instructors, combining text, audio, visual, graphic, and dynamic elements, such as animation, virtual reality, and interactive web-cast. It has also strengthened information to be more understandable, and activated the potential of learning interaction. The development of our environmental education has only been set into action for a recent decay; with the contribution of the Environmental Protection Administration and the Ministry of Education, many of the Teachers Colleges and National Normal University have had environmental education centers; however, websites that are related to environmental education e-learning are barely developed. This research demonstrates the theoretical foundation with our current environmental protection laws, policies, related articles, and environment science books. With systematically classification, structured analysis, and the result of quantitative analysis and qualitative evaluation of Dephi Method, it defines a suitable contemporary environmental educational structure, rules out the curricular developmental structure of environmental education e-learning, and induces the emphases of the e-learning courses. In addition to analyze the operational infrastructure, we are able to plan out a better blue print of our contemporary environmental educational e-learning. We then discovered that the evolution of our environmental education can be classified to two categories: one is the effect of pollution on human health; the other is the cause of pollution on environment. We then bring out the curricular structures of the two categories, and conclude that we have to focus on the negative effects to human health and natural environment by automobiles, outdoor combustion, pollution emission regulation, daily polluted water, family garbage disposal, industrial wastes disposal, drinking water’s quality, and ground water pollution. Our missions to environmental education are establishing environmental learning centers, building multimedia environmental educational websites, and create a borderless environmental education community to people in all ages by our internet technologies, virtual realities, and life web-cast systems, in order to maintain a eternal, clean, and comfortable world for our beloved children.
