An Organizational Knowledge Circulation Management System For Universities<br />

Table 3. Average understanding levels in a learning design sequence (Fig. 9)<br />

<strong>Learning</strong> activity Report 1 Report 2 Questionnaire<br />

Understanding level 1.6087 2.5122 2.4474<br />

Figure 12. <strong>Learning</strong> design case production by CBR<br />

(t=2.8008, m=35.96, t(40,0.01)=2.423). So we<br />

set the number <strong>of</strong> group members in the sequence<br />

to three.<br />

Self Estimation<br />

Learners answered whether group learning was<br />

effective or not. Negative learners’ group (difference=1.00)<br />

improved their understanding level<br />

more after group learning than <strong>for</strong> the positive<br />

one (difference=0.92). The discussions in negative<br />

groups may have different views and reach<br />

no conclusion, but it still has an effect on learners’<br />

understanding. We need to inspect how the context<br />

<strong>of</strong> discussion in group learning affects learners’<br />

understanding level in the future.<br />

<strong>Learning</strong> Design Case Records<br />

In <strong>Learning</strong> Design Repository <strong>of</strong> Fig. 2, there are<br />

many learning design case records utilizing our<br />

evaluation scale and understanding level model<br />

shown in Fig.12. When instructors request new<br />

case records, <strong>Learning</strong> Activity Integrate System<br />

in Fig.2 produces new cases by traditional case<br />

adaptation strategies (Fig.12).<br />
