Summary of Personalized E-learning System With Self-Regulated Learning Assisted Mechanisms for Promoting Learning Performance By Chih-Ming Chen.

Internet technologies nowadays are experiencing rapid increase. The conventional computer-assisted learning (CAL) is implementing learning based on the web. Instructors normally interact with students in class following the old method of learning but today individual learners are encourage to learn using web-based learning. However there are several problems when learning using these methods. One of them are they lack instructors to give them guidance on web-based learning and because of this the learners have to learn on their own when using web-based learning. How to developed learners in cultivating self-regulated learning abilities efficiently is an important research issue in the self-regulated learning field. This study presents a novel personalized e-learning system with self-regulated learning assisted mechanisms that help learners enhance their self-regulated learning abilities.

Summary of Impact of Media Richness and Flow On E-Learning Technology Acceptance By Su-Houn Liu Hsiu-Li Liao and Jean A Pratt.

Advancement on technologies goes hand in hand with the increasing competence of computer users. The use of just one theory or model, such as the technology acceptance model, is no longer sufficient to study the intended use of e-learning systems. Rather, a combination of theories must be integrated in order to fully capture the complexity of e-learners, who are both system users and learners. The current research presents an integrated theoretical framework to study users’ acceptance of streaming media for e-learning. Three streams of research provide the basis for this integrated framework: the technology acceptance model, flow theory and media richness theory. Students who uses the online section of information system course uses one of three different combinations of text, streamed audio and streamed video. Richer content-presentation types were positively produced higher concentration levels but showed mixed results when it is perceived . Results from this have practical implication for those interested in integrating streaming media into e-learning.
